Only if the copy you're copying was not authorized for general distribution by the copyright owners.

However, if you make a download (a reproduction) of an unauthorized copy, then your copy (like the one you copied) is a copyright infringement because you have no permission to make that copy.

As a character designer how do you protect pirating by others how do you copyright it so you own the character and all its reproduction rights?
Works of sufficient originality are automatically protected by copyright as soon as they are fixed in a tangible medium. If formal registration is available in your country, you may elect to do that as well. Unfortunately, neither the automatic nor the registered copyright protection can actually stop piracy--it only gives you recourse when someone has used your materials without your permission. You may also wish to register a character as a trademark, but again, this only gives you legal options once your work is infringed.
What does a copyright cost?
Nothing. All creative works in the US are automatically copyrighted when first physically made. There are fees to REGISTER a copyright, but registration is needed only if you anticipate a likelihood of commercial use. The "mail it to yourself" idea suggested by a couple of other posters is sometimes called a "poor mans copyright", and has no legal value whatsoever in the US. If a copyright is infringed, and the copyright is not registered, the only legal recourse is to have a court order the infringement stopped - no damages can be sought or awarded. If the copyright IS registered, then there can be damages. There's no 'in-between' area for stuff that's been mailed back to yourself. Copyright law - including 'poor mans copyright' - is addressed by the US copyright office in the link below.
