You are violating federal law, and are subject to fines ranging from $750 to $30,000 per infringement, as well as up to five years in jail.
More realistically, you're devaluing the work, and reducing the income the creator can gain from it. For a huge corporation, that might not be a big deal, but for individual artists, it can have a big impact on their ability to pay the electric bill that month.
In the long term, as artists can't afford to create for a living and go back to waiting tables, there is less creative output for the consumer to choose from.
You will get a fine, which is usually equivalent to the value of the work. In the worst case scenario, you can get a jail term as well.
