IANAL but documents don't become public during discovery, they only become public if they're filed with the court (unless they're sealed). The vast majority of information dredged up during discovery remains confidential.
But things like datasets are massive and structure is important. Do they retain them digitally with the same original structure or do they transform them into some kind of massive PDF?
Why do you think it is time wasting? Is it because of the wasted time of all the artists having gone to the bother of producing art that can now be approximated at the press of a button?
