Copyright and privacy are two very different ideas, but both affect the dissemination of information.
Copyright law protects original creative works such as music, film, choreography, books, and more.
Privacy law protects individuals from unauthorized access to their information.
Say I take a photograph of my child at home. I have an expectation of privacy because I wasn't in a public area, and copyright in the photo is ascribed to me, because I created it. If you distribute this photo without my permission, you are violating my child's privacy and infringing my copyright.

∙ 11y agoCopyright is guaranteed in the Constitution, and privacy is not? I think it might be a shorter answer to list what they have in common: they are nebulously defined and hotly contested.
Copyright gives the creator of a work of sufficient originality the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so, for a limited time.
Privacy is found by the courts to be an intersection of an extension of several different, unrelated articles of the Constitution as well as the 14th Amendment. Essentially, they say a non-public person should be protected from intrusion into their private affairs, public disclosure of private information, libelous publicity, and use of their name or image.

Does a private email sent to another private party and forwarded to your work constitute violation of copyright law and issues of privacy and expression?
