It's really horrible to see how easy anyone can remove competitors from Google play.
The DMCA claim is issued by well known in Russia litres company. This company is well known by DDOS attacks (which they paid for) to some Russian ebooks libraries. Litres loose this fight. Libraries won. Now they started fight again in opposite direction - to remove from Google Play any books reader which can have access (by OPDS) to such libraries (e.g. to lib.rus.ec library).
There is also second cause. Litres company has their own book reader in the Google play. You may check the page of this reader ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.litres.andr... ). Just yesterday, in the "Users who viewed this also viewed" list there was moon+ pro (now removed from market) on first place, Google books on second, then cool reader (may also be removed from Google play since author of the reader has already been threatened about that by litres) and finally moon+ again (not in the marked now).
So, it seems, they just got attacked their main competitors (except for Google books by obvious reason).
Moon+ Reader has been installed 5 000 000 - 10 000 000 times (which is 50x times more that LitRes reader's installs number).
