But that doesn't mean they have any hope of getting it. They'd have to show that they suffered a loss of that magnitude. Presumably, that's what the 1984 student managed to do, if everything he needed for his course project was lost; perhaps he failed the course and had to take another year as a result of that.

If (in the unlikely event) Amazon did the same thing again, there'd be no point in suing them if your only financial loss what the cost of buying a legitimate copy of the book so that you could carry on reading it.
