I knew modern console games were expensive to produce, but man, that’s some serious cheddar!
Look at the images, the redactions are perfectly shaped, no way that was done with a marker.
God, this is pathetically incompetent on the court’s part. How the fuck do you mess this up? Imagine the effort Sony put into keeping a lid on these things, for somebody in the court system to fail so miserably at their jobs.

Edit: We don’t know it was the courts fault.
- I'm not sure it's the court's fault. Sony supplied the document, but no one's said who did the redactions. Was it Sony? Was it the FTC? I don't believe the court would have done the redactions. They would want to defer to those who are knowledgeable about what is and isn't a trade secret.
  
  The article stated that the court scrambled to undo the damage, which implied the court was responsible for the redaction.
i bet that intern got blacklisted
