Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong subforum, or if it's not allowed at all.
But assuming it's ok to talk about, I happened to see this news article today.

I find it entertaining, but also sad how he apparently has nothing better to spend money on than lawsuits.

Absolute legend Karl Jobst / "I'm FINALLY Going To Trial Against Billy Mitchell!"
What a dickhead cheating Billy Mitchell is. We all know he used MAME (he even said "The tapes are MAME") and he's going to try to bullshit his way in an Australian court.
Australians have great bullshit detectors, and Australian judges are professional, there is no 'judging along party lines' here. Mitchell has already pissed off the judge by delaying the case HE brought, he has no hope.
PS As for Rickey’s Hot Sauce, what watered down crap. I love my chili sauce and Billy Mitchell's over-priced shit hot sauce lasted in my fridge for over a year whilst I used up kilograms of much better Sriracha sauces from Asia and the US, really the problem was that every other hot sauce I put my hands on was tastier and had more punch.

I chose that word to express my fondness for that particular joke. I could have used any number of words, I suppose.

Looks like it's over, but the judge has reserved his decision.

Babylon Beee - Sunday Scoop!
Classic Gamer Who "Invented" Live Videogame Streaming Sues Twitch For "Infringement"
The website that first popularized live game streaming is going head-to-head against the alleged first popular live streamer, despite him joining the website years after its inception.
Billy Mitchell has filed suit in a foreign court against the premier game streaming platform alleging unfair "profiteering" after he "put live videogame streaming on the map".
When asked about what seems a classic case of 'putting the cart before the horse' Mitchell's lawyer admitted, "Yes, nothing gamers did on Twitch before Mr. Mitchell matters. Mr. Mitchell feels very strongly about this."
Soon after beginning his live streaming career Mitchell explained his fresh approach on the Scott Liberto Podcast: "I didn't realise that when people played and they got a significant score then they took it and they uploaded it to Twitch. I always thought it was live. I don't think I'll ever upload a performance to Twitch".
One experienced live streamer commented on the boast saying, "When I claim to have invented spagbol because I'm proud of my cooking, obviously I'm joking. But Mitchell is as serious as a heart attack."
A Twitch employee familiar with the situation says login records show Mitchell's account was the 74,165,587th to be created on the site. The Beee was also shown site analytics which show Mitchell to be approximately the 1.6 millionth ranked streamer.
Mitchell, when asked about this evidence, claimed he was "not familiar with the situation" and directed the Beee and other media reporting on the case to his law firm, which initiated the proceedings. "Then I can serve papers to all parties directly. It'll save us a lot of time and expense", he said.

It would have saved quite a lot more time and expense if he never started suing all and sundry in the first place.
Moron.
