Maybe he did. The defense could have leaked it as easily as the prosecution. It doesn't make him look that bad, (except in bed). The biggest loser from the post is Assange's sex life, as it's now in international news that's he's a dud root, and a douche to the women he sleeps with. Yeah, he'll have an easy time getting laid from here on out. But it doesn't really hurt the case, it might even end up helping him.

Loser pays means poor people can't afford to sue rich people, because they won't be able to afford an expensive lawyer like the rich person can (so they're less likely to win) and the if they lose the risk is a lot higher for them. It's not a big deal for Google to pay for Boring's lawyer, but the other way around is a big deal. It would create a strong disincentive for little people to sue mega-corporations, even when the mega-corporation was clearly in the wrong, and it wouldn't cut down on senseless lawsuits by wealthy people/corporations because they could afford to pay for the other sides lawyer. Forcing the side with more income/assets to pay for the other sides lawyer, if they initiated the case and lost, makes sense.
