I understand that this is unsupported, against the EULA, and frowned upon by the Apple Community. I currently own two iMacs, what law does this violate by downloading Mac OS on my mac and installing it to my PC? Thanks!
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS Sierra (10.12.4), Late 2015

So in installing that where do I break the copyright?
In actuality you can do whatever you want with your PC and Apples software, only the people you tell will know that you are in breach of contract, but now that you have come to an Apple hosted forum to tell us about it, Apple know.
Actually, it is. Or can be, depending on the circumstances.

Haha thanks

Well let me know the circumstances where it becomes criminal. I'm not aware of any.
Law against sale of stolen merchandise.
If it is on Torrent, it is stolen.
Just the point I was trying to make, but you did it better. Removing it is not so simple, it's on Apples server by now,
I think it would be more effective to be able to show people what the actual laws and penalties are.
In which country would you like that?

You can pick.
Wow this went far. Thank you all for all the replies, I didn't ever install it or even make a flash drive (for my PC)🙂
Yes it is illegal, yet for some reason people make Hackintoshes to avoid paying for Apple hardware and stealing their software.
Is it legal to install MacOS on PC
