It's not illegal to get a copyright. It's illegal to break copyright laws.

People work hard on something and get it copyrighted, so it's unfair if you use a copy of it, claim it for yourself, or use it when you aren't permitted. This includes applications like Limewire, which should be illegal.

Copyrighting is illegal. Copyright violations are illegal because people have no right to profit from the work they produce. If anyone can take their product and copy it, they lose money for their work.
