Possibly. More of an interesting question philosophically than purely legally, IMO.
The issue of copyright in traditionally Communist countries is interesting, as they don't generally recognize it. North Korea had no copyright at all until they passed a (probably purely for show) law meeting the minimum requirements of the Berne Convention in 2001 so they could enter some global treaties and trade arrangements.
Internally, there appears to really be no such concept in North Korean society.
