The copyright, designs and Patents Act basically ensures you dont use other people’s things without permission.
So the website could be using a logo, an extract from a book, a picture or a game without permission of the copyright holder – inmost cases the person/company that created it.
Another way – slightyl more nerdy is a breahc of the patent and design element, in which codes or encoding is used which has been made/designed and is not open source or free to use like HTML.

By copying more than the permitted amount of content, or creating a verbatim copy of an existing copyrighted website without permission, and possibly the intent to profit from it. Maybe?

In UK, using material off websites without permission or licence; note that there are no limits, no acceptable use clause like in the US
For the rest, come to my ICT 1st diploma class where my students did this on Monday!
