Copyright law is a civil matter. But sometimes it can stray into criminal law, if for example you download a movie illegally that is a civil matter, but if you then sell copies of that movie it is criminal. To clarify, in the UK it is not illegal to buy 'pirate' DVDs but it is illegal to sell them.
Civil law is for cases bought personally, to settle debts or grievances for example, and the outcome is usually restitution. Criminal law is for crimes committed against the legal code, such as robbery and murder, and the outcome is punishment as decreed by law.
