What is the best way to contact copyright owners when you are seeking permission to use their work?

You just use the contact information in any copyright notice associated with the work and then you can call them or send them a mail. sometimes you could even search for their contact information on Google® Search, or similar.
For example, a publisher of a book or sound recording may not actually own the copyright, but they will certainly have contact information for those who do, perhaps through an agent. If you want a license to use music, you might also try ASCAP or BMI, which represent millions of titles.
Some copyright owners have also registered their copyrights. In the USA, the Copyright Office maintains an online database that you can search for information about the owners of a particular copyright. Countries with voluntary registration systems include the UK, Italy, Spain, Brazil, and more than 40 others.

Only if the copy you're copying was not authorized for general distribution by the copyright owners.

However, if you make a download (a reproduction) of an unauthorized copy, then your copy (like the one you copied) is a copyright infringement because you have no permission to make that copy.
