As in how would they come across the file in the first place. Do people download them through streaming services and then upload them?

For a movie that is already released, you just buy the DVD/Blu-ray and use software to copy the movie off it.
If it’s available on a streaming website software can also copy that.
For a movie that’s not released yet, advanced DVD/Blu-ray copies (so-called “screener” copies) are sent out to reviewers, critics and awards judges. Sometimes these get leaked and copied as above.
Occasionally someone will sneak a camera into a movie theater and film it, but you don’t see that very often any more because their quality sucks.
