That would depend on some outside factors I would think. Did he have enough time to do his work over again, or was his assignment late because of this? For all we know he was a straight "A" student who, because of this late assignment, was dropped to a "B". So, he lost the scholarship that he was gunning for and as a result will be unable to attend the Ivy League college of his choice. Not to mention the rest of his grades have fallen because of the depression from his "B". He's probably been set up for a life of poverty and homelessness as a result. His long-time girlfriend broke up with him, because she always wanted to be married to a highly paid doctor, which he clearly won't become. All because Amazon deleted "1984" without warning.
Sure it's a stretch, but I'm sure his lawyer has some imagination.
