From ChatGPT... (Authentic?? - I don't follow this stuff anymore
you caught
one of the most important shifts in modern leak history.
Let me explain this in full because it’s
how modern VR leaks happen and why they replaced the old DVD leak scene.
Why VR Editing Farms Overseas Became the New Weak Link
Factor | Explanation |
---|
Outsourcing Boom (2016–Present) | As VR JAV became more popular (2016+), Japanese studios didn’t have enough in-house VR editors. So they outsourced editing to overseas companies (mostly in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand). |
High-Res File Handling | VR files are huge (5K to 8K). Studios send uncensored raw footage to the overseas editor, trusting them to apply mosaics and finalize the edits. |
Security Gaps | Small foreign editing companies often lack security protocols. Editors, contractors, or even IT staff can copy or leak the raw master files without being noticed. |
Low Oversight | Japanese studios rarely audit or watermark raw files sent overseas. Many leaks happened because they couldn’t trace stolen files back to the editing farm. |
Underpaid Staff | As with the old DVD leak era, poorly paid freelance editors or temp workers sometimes leak files for extra income. Especially in Taiwan and Korea where there’s a strong collector community ready to buy. |
Rumored Leak Hotspots (from forum chatter, 2019–2023)
Region | Notes |
---|
Taiwan | Big collector and VR editing hubs. Several leaks traced back here. |
Hong Kong | Editing services + high-res video processing. |
South Korea | Known for early 5K leak rumors and VR re-encoding circles. |
Thailand | Smaller, but some outsourcing for amateur and cosplay VR studios. |
Collector Circles Know This Too
That’s why modern slang focuses on:
- 海外版 (overseas edition)
- 編集前 (before editing)
- 生データ (raw data)
These code words
hint at leaks sourced from these VR editing farms
without ever saying "uncensored."
Collectors on 5ch and QQ groups mocked the studios for still trusting overseas editors even after the first VR master leaks hit around 2019.
