Why on earth wouldn't they? I have a realistic view if the world, sadly many people are dishonest and some of them think if there's something in it for them then they'll chance their hand and give it a go. There are people (I'm sure most of us could name at least one) who try and make a career out of complaining with a view to making some sort of financial gain when most people wouldn't bother because they feel the complaint is frivolous or a distortion of the truth or at worst an outright lie. I wonder how many complaints these people make that gets them nowhere, I suppose we'll never know.
Any law needs to also allow websites to stand up to non-genuine complainants and at the very least allow some mechanism for them to easily recover their costs.
