Of course not, but the Washington Post article he linked makes a good point about the absurd length of copyright these days. Copyrights were originally intended to be similar to patents for creative works, they gave you a limited period of exclusivity to capitalize on your idea before the rest of the world was allowed to make use of it. Thanks to corporate influence on our corrupt government (Disney, mostly), copyright has been perverted to last, essentially, forever. It's bad for innovation, it's bad for our culture, it's bad for everything except corporate profits.

EDIT: Just had a chance to play it... yeah, it's pretty clunky.
