To amplify a bit on my position: using the mentioned app permits someone to remove licensing etc on something that the person did not buy. It is sufficient to download a copy containing the checks, run the app, and voila. This process is very different from removing DRM on a book. In all the situations I am aware of the user must obtain a book licensed to him or her, then use tools to remove the DRM.
In other words, the existing DRM removal tools work on books purchased by the user. Honesty is supported by the tools, thereby supporting fair use. The pirating app works on install files that are freely available and not illegally uploaded. No purchase is required. Fair use is out the window.
