No but it does give users one click access to the illegal sources, which could be a problem in some legal jurisdictions.
Personally I just use it to read from my personal komga server, but it would be sad to see the app get attacked.
You need to set up quite a few things first. It's like suing an app store cause you can install a browser and pin a piracy website to your home menu, giving you one click access to illegal sources.
The app came with a fairly large extension list pre-populated so it's a little different to a browser. Although a browser with all the piracy links already bookmarked would be rad.
Either way, you can still point the app towards any other repository so it doesn't really hurt for them to remove the default extensions repository to avoid potential legal problems.
