I don't even know where or how people get leaks in the first place, lol.
Well, people that have unleaked tracks trade with other people that have unleaked tracks too. So once you have one exclusive song you can pretty much build an entire collection if you wanted
And sometimes people just give songs to friends and they give it to other people and so on, so it's get traded around. Then it's bound to leak

Yeah, I get that much, I just don't understand how the initial person gets the "exclusive" song, though. Like, without trading anything to get it.

I guess members from her team or her mom (Dancing With The Devil ) give some demos to people they know or people hack accounts to get demos or something.
Did DJ Stolen ever go to jail? If so, is he still there?
Unfortunately, yes

An 18-year-old German hacker has been jailed for stealing and selling unreleased material from artists including Lady GaGa and Leona Lewis.
The computer whizz-kid, who called himself DJ Stolen, made over €15,000 (£13,206) from selling demos and unfinished tracks recorded by some of the world's biggest artists.
The hacker used emails and Trojan horse software to penetrate the systems of record label executives, producers or the artists themselves in order to retrieve digital copies of the tracks, reports BBC's Newsbeat.
Anti-piracy teams in the UK and Germany noticed a rise in the number of leaked songs from artists including Lady GaGa, Leona Lewis, Ke$ha, Justin Timberlake and Mariah Carey in 2009 and 2010.
The authorities finally managed to trace the source of the leaks, which led them to DJ Stolen, who was then tried in the German courts.
A judge ruled that the teenager was "driven more by a desire for recognition than by criminal intent" and that he must have therapy for an addiction to the internet.
He will also undergo an 18-month sentence in a detention center in Germany.
Speaking to the German tabloid Daily Bild, the hacker said: "Dear Lady GaGa, I am ashamed of what I have done. I did not think about the consequences."
A fellow hacker, aged 23, has also been handed an 18-month suspended sentence for his participation in the crimes.
He owned ileaks.com I'm sure you'll recognise that tag
I'll post the rest one of these days. Waiting on a Crazy Kids promo CD to arrive first.
