Why and when to use angular.copy? (Deep Copy)

var app = angular.module('copyExample', []);
app.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope',
  function($scope) {
    $scope.printToConsole = function() {
      $scope.main = {
        first: 'first',
        second: 'second'
      };

      $scope.child = angular.copy($scope.main);
      console.log('Main object :');
      console.log($scope.main);
      console.log('Child object with angular.copy :');
      console.log($scope.child);

      $scope.child.first = 'last';
      console.log('New Child object :')
      console.log($scope.child);
      console.log('Main object after child change and using angular.copy :');
      console.log($scope.main);
      console.log('Assing main object without copy and updating child');

      $scope.child = $scope.main;
      $scope.child.first = 'last';
      console.log('Main object after update:');
      console.log($scope.main);
      console.log('Child object after update:');
      console.log($scope.child);
    }
  }
]);

// Basic object assigning example

var main = {
  first: 'first',
  second: 'second'
};
var one = main; // same as main
var two = main; // same as main

console.log('main :' + JSON.stringify(main)); // All object are same
console.log('one :' + JSON.stringify(one)); // All object are same
console.log('two :' + JSON.stringify(two)); // All object are same

two = {
  three: 'three'
}; // two changed but one and main remains same
console.log('main :' + JSON.stringify(main)); // one and main are same
console.log('one :' + JSON.stringify(one)); // one and main are same
console.log('two :' + JSON.stringify(two)); // two is changed

two = main; // same as main

two.first = 'last'; // change value of object's property so changed value of all object property 

console.log('main :' + JSON.stringify(main)); // All object are same with new value
console.log('one :' + JSON.stringify(one)); // All object are same with new value
console.log('two :' + JSON.stringify(two)); // All object are same with new value
