It depends on the type of information, and the extent and use of the copying. While some copying might be a violation of copyright law, privacy law, or other laws, in many cases you might not be breaking any law at all.

Because the majority of pictures or information contained in web-sites is protected by one or more copyright laws.

Theoretically that applies if, for example, you download a tune to your computer - then copy it to an MP3 player !
