How dare anyone question an established legal status. Of course Mr Bezos owes money to her Royal Majesty the Queen!

  Not sure why this is downvoted. If americans just blindly followed the law, the US would be a British territory today.

    Because it's the kind of low-effort humor that shouldn't be encouraged by excessive upvoting or else it would completely take over the site. Chances are actual downvotes are still from people who not only disagree with style but also with content, but when those are a minority a magic thing happens: people who agree with content but are at best neutral about the style see it in deeply faded grey and vote "it's not that bad", but only as long as it's deeply faded. The result of a most agree but don't wand to encourage surgeon reliably ends up a slap on the wrist "ca -1", no matter how many people voted. The mechanism works great. (and it's also quite successful at keeping meta talk like this from escalating, I only feel that it's somewhat acceptable to write this now that the story has left the front page more than half a day)
