In the industry we get screeners either at a theater or via VHS/DVD throughout the year. That's how the reviewers can review a movie or show and get it to press during the same time of release. The last few theater screenings I've gone to they have been very agressive in searching people for cameras.
The DVD/VHS screeners, sometimes get given to friends (which is against the rules) coworkers etc. Sometimes some of those friends are unscrupulous and will rip or digitize it. This is usually how something gets out before it's actually released.
