I've heard with especially english 'release groups' they have insiders who have access to music before it's sold. there are many places where people could have access to unreleased music , working in different media , shpping , record stores etc...
I think the Hong Kong -explanation is the most reasonable one when it comes to jpop.
I don't understand how someone is willing to take the risk just to rip some mp3's to release on the net.
