Most websites are more likely to violate the "old" copyright law than they are to violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but the prime way sites find themselves up against DMCA is by distributing software designed to circumvent DRM and similar copyright protections.

DMCA takedown notices are often sent in response to posting infringing material, but that's a violation of the plain old copyright law; DMCA just makes it easier for rightsholders to respond.

What is the law on downloading music?

MY ANSWER: (RSN) the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act is much more strict and deems copying of copyrighted music (with the exception of making a copy for your own use) as illegal. The U.S. Code protects copyright owners from the unauthorized reproduction, adaptation or distribution of sound recordings, as well as certain digital performances to the public. In more general terms, it is considered legal for you to purchase a music CD and record it to MP3 files for your own use only. Uploading these files via peer-to-peer networks would constitute a breach of the law.
