No, he's being downvoted because he was wrong. If i break into someone's apartment and write a poem with their pen and paper, obviously i still own the copyright. However, if i write code for an employer the contract almost certainly states that the employer owns my work (and in some (all?) states it's a Work for Hire). jrockway was purposefully making an argument that does not apply in the situation or make sense, and he is being downvoted for it. I do not appriciate ad hominem attack against those that downvoted a trollish comment.
