Actually, outside of publishing and forums like this one, "the public" seems largely unaware and uninterested in copyright issues. This is why it's been so easy for corporations like Disney to manipulate copyright for its own ends. If any part of the equation depends on the support of the public, copyright will likely get longer and harder to challenge.
But I don't challenge the findings of the study, and I think copyright would be better served by a revision from current models.
