No, the Film Consortium guy is the one implying that by suggesting that every download should have gotten a CAS notice. The goal is, as always, to misconstrue the numbers to suggest that piracy is a huge problem (20% of the US population pirating movies is scarier than 0.8% of the global population).
The person you responded to is simply reacting with disbelief that at the Film Consortium guy's idiotic statement.
Well, for starters, zinc is Zn, not Zi, so it's not going to be NaZi no matter how you arrange the atoms.
Downloading a copy of Grand Theft Auto V in just a little over 1,030 hours... err... maybe Comcast isn't quite so bad as all that.

You don't understand how language works, do you.
It's human nature to use labels to refer to significant things. Eliminating the use of 9/11 as a reference to that event would just lead to everyone referring to as WTC or something else similarly short.
The more unique the label is, however, the longer it will hold the meaning it's given. Do a search for WTC and almost every link points to information about the terrorist attacks on the WTC. Do a search for 4/20, on the other hand, and you'll get a ton of stuff about marijuana and virtually nothing mentioning the Columbine shootings which happened on April 20th.
You want people to stop being afraid? Demanding that they use uniquely memorable names for tragedies is an ass-backwards way to go about it. Let them use generic labels for things so that they don't stand out and can be forgotten over time.
The first question that comes to my mind is, "What the fuck is the point of having more than 640k of memory for residential customers?" It's marketing department dick waving that serves no purpose. 640k should be enough for anyone.
It's not like new technology gets developed to take advantage of new features, right? It's just a big waste of resources to develop these things.
Beets cause me to vomit and have dry heaves for about half an hour. My individual evidence clearly shows that beets are horribly toxic and should be removed from the market.
Anecdote is a synonym for conclusive evidence, after all.
Candidates are being announced for the primaries and the conservative party needs a big bad strawman to wave around and claim that the current government is ignoring in order to rally their supporters.
And monolingual New Zealanders aren't going to watch Game of Thrones in American just to get it cheaper?
BLISS is ignorance.
