What are the first steps in bringing a legal action?
In copyright infringement cases, it's best to start without involving a lawyer. Going directly to the infringer can yield exactly the results you wanted, and it's guaranteed to be cheaper. If direct action doesn't seem to work, then have a lawyer draft a more formal cease-and-desist. Very few copyright cases need to be handled in court.

Do free music sites violate Music Copyright Law?
This is a very contentious issue and depends on the country the music is stored in, the country it is being downloaded in, the relationship the site has with the copyright owners and whether or not a copyright even exists on the music. In many countries it is illegal to host and download copyrighted music to/from the internet without permission from the copyright owner. With permission, a site may be allowed to do so. Napster's original incarnation was shut down for making music downloadable for free without permission from the copyright owners. One way around copyright laws is by downloading music that has been released into the public domain under licenses such as the Creative Commons attribution-non commercial share-alike license which allows the music to be freely copied and manipulated so long as the original author is credited and that it is distributed under the same license.
