How did the contract get 'leaked' anyway?West and Zampella, the scumbag minds behind Infinity Ward and Call of Duty, were fired by activision in 2010. The circumstances are complicated and no one really knows what happened, but one of the things in contention is that West and Zampella are saying they accepted a sub-par contract in return for greater creative control, so I'd imagine this has been released as a broadly comparable contract to determine whether the IW guys got a competitive deal.

Yes I understand that, but aren't court documents supposed to be confidential? Did a juror disclose this contractual agreement?Courts are supposed to be as open as possible; justice is a public matter, even in civil cases. Not all documents, even confidential ones, are automatically sealed. Considering how little genuinely new information was in this it's not surprising it has been unsealed.
