Correct, the patch is not a merit badge. However, copyright is part of the
Law Merit Badge (http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/068.htm), which contains this
requirement:
11. Discuss with your counselor the importance of TWO of the following
areas of law that have recently emerged and are still developing:
Environmental law
Computers and the Internet
Copyright and the Internet
Space travel and satellites orbiting the earth
Perhaps, it should be a required and not an optional requirement.

Were this an actual merit badge, I'd sign up as a counselor specifically to
achieve that aim!
In fact it's not a BSA merit badge, it's an LA council-specific patch,
available only to scouts in that area and meaningless with respect to rank
advancement.
