Paul Gowder isn't complaining about Amazon forgetting to tell him that his coffee is hot. Good for him, flexing his rights over something reasonable.

If you went back and read about the McDonald's hot coffee case, I suspect you'd find that reasonable too.

He did nothing wrong. Just pointing out that Amazon doesn't really care. Some way or the other, you (the customer) is paying for it.
