Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'copyright' (a legal right to a work) combined with 'infringement' (a violation) yields 'violation of copyright'. This noun+noun legal collocation is compositional and found across languages, so a learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Copyright infringement comes from a simple image: copyright is the creator's right that says 'do not copy', and infringement is like stepping over a line into someone else's space. So copyright infringement means using someone else's work 'without permission' because you have crossed that line.
