I messed up. That non-IPPA watermarking style only applies to studios under "DMM group" and BEFORE IPPA watermarks. There are just too many studios under them.
So on picture you can see all these three:
Only studio logo: DVD
DMM.18 watermark: Digital download (now replaced with IPPA watermark on both digital and physical released)
D-watermark: Offline WMV download

>is your pic related?
Yes

>that sounds too sophisticated.
That's just my therory, but that how things work on western piracy scene. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/04/27/the-man-who-broke-the-music-business
And that would explain why you don't see SD rips from smaller studios since their DVDs are pressed in Japan

>you really wouldn't use any visible fingerprint at all.
That's true.

>not sure if that can explain thz.la's dasd-422, see https://yuki.la/jp/18761038#p18766894
>usually thz.la just captures the offline-player for dasd, but this release has the ippa-watermark.
Thz.la seems to use downloaded WMV here, and I assume hjd2048 using downloaded WMV too since their blur is wide enough to block D-watermark.

>finally, there are clean encodes without any watermarks whatsoever like for BOKD. where would you get that?
That's where I messed up. KM Produce doesn't belong to "DMM group" so that's why there ain't studio-watermark.
IPPA watermark seems to apply to every studio, so you can't escape these.
