Subject: Re: Tools for hacking
I am associated member of "LitRes" Corp. (www.litres.ru), owner of many sites with paid access to copyrighted literary resources.
This tool ( http://www.codeplex.com/eBookDownloader ) created specially as software for inappropriately access to web sites ( fictionbook.ru, lib.aldebaran.ru, litportal.ru ).
I have authority to be assignee of these sites.
(If your need the reports from administrations of these sites - it can be made easily.)
Whether it is possible to expel this tool from your site?

This claims is a lie. eBookDownloader just performs regular HTTP GET request like any WebBrowser. It doesn't contain any piece of code to hack any protection or use any backdoor. 100% same HTTP request are produced by any WebBrowser when you navigate on those sites...
