Tridion 2009 - copy a multimedia component from one publication to another

How to copy an image component from one publication to another using api in 2009?

Is it possible? I tried to use

newComponent.Multimedia.SetUploadedMultimediaFilename(originalComponent.Multimedia.Filename);

+ newComponent.save (); where my newComponent is the one I create from the source component.

This will not work ... you need to first save the multimedia item to a file location, and then use this location to download it. Everything you do now tells Tridion that there is a file in originalComponent.Multimedia.Filename , which may or may not be true.
