It is called "cp". It induces "copyright infringement" by design. Here is the relevant section from the manual:

-------------------------------------
NAME
cp - copy files and directories

SYNOPSIS
cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
cp [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY SOURCE...

DESCRIPTION
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
-------------------------------------

As you can see, it has the potential to do copying from multiple sources, which makes it even more dangerous ;-)
