The law says that only
the creator of a work, or his heirs, and no one else, has the right to make
copies of it. Thus “copyright.”
The creator can lease
out that right, give it away, whatever, but it’s his.
All the complications
(and there are many) result from deciding who the creator is, what constitutes
a copy, and how long copyright should last. Especially what constitutes a copy.
As for how it works in
practice, copyright infringement — that is, making a copy without the creator’s
permission — is a civil offense, not a criminal one. (What you do with the
copies may well be criminal, though, since they’re stolen property.) That means
that you won’t be arrested for copyright infringement, but
you can be sued, and if you lose the suit you will be ordered to pay the
creator everything you made off the infringement, plus any damages the creator
can show to his own use of the property, plus (if the copyright was registered)
punitive (punishment) damages.
