It seems like they made the same mistake as youtube-dl back in the day. If you develop a tool that can be used for piracy, do not straight up advertise that in your readme/documentation.
If you create a YouTube downloader, do not show it downloading music from major labels, use for a creative commons track for the demo instead.
And dont say in the short description of your repo that this tool is meant to steal books from an online lending library.
