The origins of any movie you pirate come from theft, full stop.

The origins of most of all western countries' wealth comes from theft, full stop.

More often than not, scene releases are gathered internally by rogue employees in the studio who took something and distributed it in a way that they were not authorized to do.

That's only the case for pre-Bluray release content. Most of it was just captured from rips, Amazon Prime or Netflix.
