SED is shorter (0 byte). SED /is/ a turing complete language [1] so don't try to claim that I'm cheating.

  sed < input > output

The command line equivalent, with Perl:

    perl -pe '' <input >output
Even java can do that setOut(system.in); (iirc)
> Even java can do that setOut(system.in);

I was referring to an empty SED-program that would then be run via 'sed -f empty-file.sed'. Of course you need >0 bytes to invoke the SED program.
