As HansTWN pointed out, no it doesn't. I favor a more limited form of copyright than that which exists today (esp. in the US), but I still voted for copyright forever. A more nuanced poll would be way better.
It would be like making a poll asking whether theft should be punished by death by dismemberment or not be punished at all.
