Is there a way to send a message to the decoders to reduce the excessive use of watermarks in JAV videos? I see watermarks occupy in screen of the video that it seems watermarks are more visible than the actual JAV content. Maybe like, only introduce the waters only in the introduction of the video or the end of the video, something like that.

Lol. I remember the old days when there was no watermarked videos at all.
Speaking of which, I dont remember having seen any watermarks other than Chinese ones. Why are these stuffs only limited to Chinese? Does that mean people in Japan don't share their videos on Internet at all?

From what I gathered from knowledgeable people in here, Japanese studios press their disks in Taiwan, which is the main focus of piracy just because studios are too lazy to search for Japanese disk press, and Japanese people don't tend to pirate barely anything if at all.

There are the yellow watermarks, on the left and right, I always skip them. On Nyaa, sometimes I can't see the screenshots of the movie because the author use a fucked up image host with tons of ads and I end up with those yellow watermarks. Some even rewrite their own watermark in white, so all you can see are the stupid watermarks. So I search again until I find a thz version, it's the least intrusive watermark.

A few years ago, there was MASSIVE crackdown on pirated Japanese media. I think it was around the time Ryushare got shut down. A lot of sources from Japan or quality sources either left the game or got forcefully removed. This basically left the rips coming from Chinese sources and these Chinese rippers decided to use the videos as a advertising platform for their other profitable sites.

Oh man, they were so selfish.
I know there are still some individuals and groups who do it, but they're very exclusive and limited to people they know and/or are Japanese and are fluent in Japanese.
So that means there won't be a chance for a foreigner like me to get my hands on one of these?

Even the Japanese pirates back in the day had a system of reward and "scratch my back, I scratch your back" for their efforts. The rips back then that ended up in our grubby hands were usually from leechers who took their work and released it without their input or direction.
So you meant that all the videos before that massive crackdown were leaked from a Japanese group which only shared videos to each other?
Ryushare got shut down was in Vietnam. How was that related to Japan? By saying having used Ryushare, did you mean that you use it for uploading?
And have those Chinese rippers ever got caught at all? Like for spreading perverse contents :p That is banned in China, isn't it? They advertise some kind of business in the beginning of every video, is it that hard to track them down?

Corruption in China > Corruption in Japan

Simple math
