Hi,
The answer is quite simple: the folder you're copying to belongs to someone else...dont panic, it's (very-very likey) NOT a hacker's property. Let's elaborate.... You log in to your system. Everything in your home folder is yours to do with as you please. However, everything outside...belongs to the Root. At install, you have set a Root password. The Root has a home folder as well. And She/He can access the rest of the system. The day-to-day user...cannot. This is not a malfunction but a safety feature...you cannot damage the system, and (more interestingly) nor can a virus.

If you do need these files there, you'll need to become Root (for this action): Quote:
