WebCopier v4.3? What is it?

Found this in my logs

I have a horrible feeling that I should be concerned, what is it? What does it do?

Can I ban it?

Your feelings were spot-on.

WebCopier and EmailSiphon are among the relatively few agents with names describing exactly what they do. They're also among the first agents I banned.

If you've not already added both of those to your blocks, do so ASAP. And if you want to see a long list of UAs you don't want to see, here you go (read to and fro'):
