Surprised Like A Dragon sales are lower than others. Been gaming since a kid in the 90s, and it easily ranked in my top 10. It's an instant classic.
They renamed it from Yakuza, so it lost name recognition, not surprisingly.

I sell construction work. Sometimes my customers will have me price up something that someone else priced to them and they will send me a competitor’s redacted scope letter with the pricing blanked out so I can bid ‘apples to apples’ aka the same scope of work. I’ve unredacted proposals using the ‘unflatten’ command in Bluebeam Revu (which is by far the best PDF editor) which allowed me to underbid my competitor and…
I really don't think this is grey, I think these cases have clear legal implications, though I'm not a lawyer. You are circumventing redaction, regardless of how boneheaded it is, the intent was clear. I'd not do this if I were you.
Legally, I can't see what's wrong with using information that you have, even if the other party didn't intend for you to have it. Lawyers themselves will use information in court that was accidentally sent to them by a counter-party, and that the other lawyer never intended them to have.

The only foolproof way I trust is to redact it digitally, print it on paper, and scan it. I’ve used bad redaction to my advantage at work to make money, I’m all for other people using bad redaction techniques :)
What if you just block out text in PDF, then Print to PDF - does that retain the text behind the black block? If it does, then Export to PNG almost certainly removes it (while also removing all other selectable text)
The real story here is the highlighting of the flawed attempt to redact a document. Happens a lot.
There are billions of PDF files out there, but the ones are being redacted are the most valuable of the lot.

I have enjoyed a couple in the series, but they are a bit hard to recommend. All of the story lines are anime-ridiculous, have a mixture of fun and grindy minigames (the business development loses its luster pretty quickly), and a lot of trapsing around the map doing fetch quests for the lost soul du jour. If you want a great story, it is weak. Looking for a great tactics game, it is weak. The combination of gameplay…

You do not have to Parry. You do not have to dodge. Most od the game you can tank and heal or resurect.

Sadly I suspect they are. There’s an entire culture of denigrating anything fun by absurdly reducing it to its basic components. I’ve seen a lot of people denigrate football by calling it “kickball” and “just 20 men running around chasing a ball on a field.” I guess we could say our job is just hitting a keyboard thousands of times a day, no idea how anyone would enjoy that! /sarcasm
Sorry but I think your analogy is just wrong. In football anybody in the world who has legs and can walk can perform the main goal of football which is to get a ball into a very large net. It doesnt take any skill to perform the feat whatsoever. The skill only comes with who you choose to play against. From that angle, it is just 20 people chasing a ball around, it just depends on the skill level of the players as to…

Isn't it the other way around, woth "like a dragon" being the actual japanese name of those games ?

I wonder if using certain kinds of inks could cause slight differences in reflectivity over the redacted text, leaving artifacts that could be used to reconstruct the text in scanned documents? Seems like applying strips of opaque tape over the redacted text might be the most certain method, though maybe overkill after all.
This was sort-of the winning solution to an underhanded C contest to redact an image. Hazily remembered, but the winner used a trick where already black pixels got redacted to one color black and already white pixels got to an ever so slightly different black. Reversing the image would then make it trivial to read the original black-on-white text.
The image was in PPM format, which stores the color components of the pixels as ASCII text (so a white pixel is stored as "255 255 255" and a black one is "0 0 0"). To redact the image, the code replaced every digit of the numbers with '0', so white became "000 000 000" and black stayed as "0 0 0". Both are black and indistinguishable if you're viewing the image, but you can tell them apart by looking at the file text.
