You are the creator of that copy, and in as far as there is anything copyrightable in creating that copy, you own that copyright.

However, that copy is (in most cases) either an exact copy of an existing work, or a derived work of an existing work; if it's an exact copy, then there is nothing copyrightable in the creation of the copy, so you own nothing.

If it's a derived work, then you own copyright in the final work thanks to the creative expression you put in to create the copy, but doing things with that work infringes the copyright in the original work unless you have appropriate permission from the copyright holder on the original work, or a suitable exception in copyright law.
