Like any other law, copyright laws do not "prevent" anything. However, they are designed to give a copyright owner the power to punish those who violate the law.
Copyright laws restrict who can reproduce, publish, distribute, modify, publicly perform, publicly display or digitally transmit various types of copyrighted works, with numerous exceptions. Not all works are copyrighted and copyrights eventually expire.
