What would happen if you fake a copyright?

It happens all the time, and it usually isn't punished, regardless of the supposed consequences. Keep in mind that you're still not actually protected by copyright because it's not official, and if you steal someone else's work and label it with your own fake "copyright", you can still land in trouble. It's not uncommon to find a YouTube video of copyrighted work posted by someone else and with the uploader's supposed "copyright" attached to it. They're still in copyright trouble, but as you can tell, it's rarely enforced.
