What Xyzzy says is completely true. Take a look under the hood for yourself. If you haven't taken a look under the hood, it is not fair to call these false accusations because they can be easily verified. That is not to downplay the cleverness and convenience of the tool. That also is not to say I don't like or haven't "purchased" the tool.

The same reason we have 0 recourse to getting our problems with KVS fixed is the same reason KVS has 0 recourse to get its problems with the sites its scrapping fixed - nobody is being a legitimate service or business contract from anyone.

Beyond the "browser vs scrapper" and "purchase vs donation" arguments, the crux of the matter is you are purchasing a "service" today, that there is no guarantee will be available tomorrow and your money is gone.

If the problems didn't exist or just got fixed in a timely manner we wouldn't be having this discussion because we wouldn't be here looking for updates.

It has been a good run but I also agree it appears they are running out of moles to whack.
