Genuine question; how exactly do things like music, movies, and shows get leaked way before their release dates?

Everything is digital and stored in a database and hackers break into that database, steal the files, and illegally upload

doesn't necessarily need to be hackers. at some point the files get moved around and while they're changing hands, it's basically the honor system stopping people from copying it to a flash drive.
