Might sound arrogant. But first of all I think he's a fool. If he's just "designing" a lawsuit for big money: Good luck to him.
If he actually has lost his notes and weeks or months of work: "Do backups on a frequent basis or choose a medium safe enough when entrusting your professional future" would have been my tip to him.
In German we say "Dummheit gehört bestraft". Translated something like "foolishness needs punishment".
I really HATE it, if people don't take responsibility for their life and their actions, but point to big corporates, society or government instead.
And looking at the unbelievable rulings of past lawsuits, he even may win.
And then, finally it's us, the other users, who'll have to pay the bill. Amazon and the other corporates being punished in lawsuits of course will rebill these amounts (PLUS interest PLUS buffers for similar lawsuits) in future products to us.
And why all of that? Because someone, who claims himself scientist and researcher (= academic), wasn't able (or willing) to think just one step ahead and define a backup plan or some kind of "safety net".
