Given that somebody pops that factoid into 100% of internet threads that even vaguely hint at IP topics, I’d be amazed if there was even a small dog in China not aware of that.

Well, it's an interesting thing. I call it the "stoner fallacy."*
You know, if you smoke pot in high school (or whatever), you think that EVERYONE does.
OTOH, if you don't smoke pot, you don't think many people do.
It's the same here. As much as you might think "people" might know something .... well, the number of people that (a) communicate in internet threads (beyond facebook, or raging in youtube comments), and (b) communicate in intelligent internet threads, and (c) those intelligent internet threads happen to touch on IP ... is vanishingly small.
It's just VERY OVER REPRESENTED by the people here.
*Yeah, that's not the name of this cognitive bias. But this is much more fun!
You know I didn't actually mean that bit about small dogs in China, right?

Yeah, but case in point, while I have known of this copyright fact prior to this video and thread. I had not realized there was an abundance of people posting it in comments.
Usually it is people saying something is funny or awesome, then people refuting that, and then those two groups having a knock-down drag-out fight about it.
...Maybe I'm in the wrong parts of the internet.

If companies don't like their name dropped so casually, they should no be lazy in their advertising, labelling, brand insertion into scripts, and stick to product placement.
