Yes, but that does not make their activity ethical. And, just incidentally, people who write software are never included in copyright protection if they don't work for themselves. This is also true for some other domains, such as music in certain cases, and films. Copyright is ostensibly intended to benefit the artist, but more often it benefits his agents instead. So instead of the artist working once and being paid forever, which is already questionable, the artist works once, is paid once, and then his agent is paid forever, which is an order of magnitude more questionable from an ethical standpoint.
