No, I do not. I do not need to, because that statement, as should be clear in context, does not refer to one particular case but to Amazon's (and, by extension, every large corporation's) behaviour with regards to politics and law.

It may not have dealt the cards in that particular case (the French one under discussion at the beginning of the thread), but it sure knows how to get the cards it wants in other cases. Which is not something that only Amazon does -- almost every big corporation does that.
