Different publishers handle things in different ways. Much of the time, the person who violates a copyright online is simply ignorant of the law and, if asked politely, will promptly remove the pirated material. That's been my experience with my own copyrighted words and music. If it's a magazine article or something else with a formal print publication, I alert my editor and s/he deals with it.

But I work for small press publications where we're low-key about that stuff. Don't ever reprint or adapt from something published by a famous author or one of the big conglomerates or else the lawyers will pounce with all their claws out. If you're curious about the extent to which major copyright holders will go, take a look at the recent and current Sherlock Holmes litigation:

I wouldn't expect a music publisher to bare the fangs to anywhere near the extent of the Sherlockian mob, but anybody who doubts that publishers do get serious about copyright will find a cautionary tale on those sites and the links from them.
