someone who will strike down anything and everything they deem is infringing on their copyright, even if the violation is very minor or can be rebuked. if the attempt fails, most commonly they will then sue the violator. they also might have ulterior motives.
someone : *uses a photo that's in the public domain in whatever*
someone else (copyright snowflake) : YOU CANT USE THAT
someone : uh, I bought this photo off a stock image website
copyright snowflake : I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about that formatting/editing style you're using, thats mine!
someone : its only like 2 seconds ffs, I can just change it or cut it out.
copyright snowflake : sorry! I have to send a strike!

Copyright is a system which protects a persons official work.
When someone copies, reproduces, or does anything to a protected work that recreates any original work in it, they are going against the rules of copyright. The original creator of that piece of work can sue the person who broke the rule against his work.
Remember that copyright does not protect even official work forever. When it is no longer protected by copyright, it becomes part of the public domain. This means people can now copy this piece of work.
You can get permission from the owner to copy the piece of work, and if he/she says yes, you can copy their work without any trouble.
Another thing you should know about copyright is "fair use." Fair use is a rule in which works can be used for purposes, like education, parodies, and more.
Other Fact:
There is even a symbol for copyright. (©)

Hym "Guys, I'm not going to use your copyright to screw you the way you're trying to use my copyright to screw me. I'm better than you. Truly. So much better it actually boggles the mind. The BEST some might say. But that's neither here nor there. You guys are a bunch of egotistists. Relax."
