As a follower of Karl I wasn't expecting him to lose, but I didn't follow the ins and outs of the case either. Now it's easy to beat a dead horse, and many people are doing just that. I guess that's how people are nowadays. Anyway...

PS: Karl Jobst is a youtuber that exposes cheaters. Billy Mitchell is a retro gaming record holder or so I'm told.


Verdict:​

There's seem to be some controversy revolving around Karl... anyone got a nice sum up of it?

Added better video where the judge explains everything to OP.
I have now watched this video and understood a lot better.

Billy sued Karl for defamation.
Because Karl said in a video that Billy's lawsuit to another person (Apollo Legend) led to his suicide because of the money Apollo had to paid in damages.

That was not true since it was discovered Apollo didn't have to pay Billy any money.
Karl's defense was "but but ..he cheats at donkey kong"
Something completely unrelated to the lawsuit.

I don't know how he was expecting to win with such defense.
There was no possible defense.

Damn, I didn't think it would turn out that bad for Karl... He was probably thinking the worst case scenario was he would have to "eat" his own legal fees at worst, but since he lost, I think he also has to cover billy's legal costs on top of some serious damages? I think he talked about that in a video about how AUS law works? ::sadkirby
 
Real justice deals in fire, not paper. The justice of this world? it's just as puppet in the hands of the few.
Yeah, i was once a naive girl that thought studying law was like a solution for Justice problems, but i was soo wrong in soo many ways. Not all that is legal is fair and Not all fair things are legal. (sorry for being a bit of a sadder with this response)
 
Honestly I haven't really been keeping up with what's been happening with these guys.
Didn't really know what this lawsuit was about, so I was like "Oh damn, a loss for Karl" but then watched parts of the linked video.
Billy sued Karl for defamation.
Because Karl said in a video that Billy's lawsuit to another person (Apollo Legend) led to his suicide because of the money Apollo had to paid in damages.

That was not true since it was discovered Apollo didn't have to pay Billy any money.
The Youtube comments immediately gave me a lot more context. This case sounds a bit more complicated than I expected. I'm not gonna take any sides here, oh well...
But damn, over 400,000$ worth of damages!?
 
Karl knew Billy was gunna sue him anyway, its what he does
produces fake spliced runs on an emulated hardware and then sues anyone who calls him out for cheating its pathetic af but it seems to work well for Billy

Some truths are sad, but still enlightening.
