Well copyright can help businesses have a unique feature to it without allowing other businesses copying it. So if you copy that unique feature then
1. you may not get as many customers as the business that started out because they are more known and trusted.
2. if you are caught then you could go out of business.
3. you could be given a max. sentence of 10 years in prison and an unlimitedfine, so yeah i wouldn't recommend copying someone else's work!
for your sentence time in jail for breaking the copyright law, you may get 89 years!

Violating copyright law and defending your rights are opposite ideas. The legal impact of breaking copyright law varies from country to country, but usually consists of fines, and in extreme cases, prison sentences. The legal impact of defending your rights as a creator is you retain those rights, and may collect damages.
In the US, it is punishable by fines up to $30,000 per infringement.
