Not until they actually file a case. Until then, a lawyer is a waste of money....and maybe even after then as well.
They have no case....at least in America where he did what they complain about (and where it's perfectly legal and not actionable if it's opinion or true, which is the best, and an absolute defense to a libel suit), and I think a civil judgement in Norway is not transferable to other countries, so means nothing outside Norway as far as I know.
Also....you can't get a civil judgement against a minor in America, at least not one worth the paper it's printed on.
He needs to wait to be served, then go on YouTube and beg for a decent pro-bono lawyer in Norway to defend him, I'm sure there's plenty of them out there, unemployed, that would love to take this case and counter sue the company for all it's worth for their 1/3 of the judgement.

14 year old needs to learn youtube is not a lawyer, and that he needs to get one.

...maybe I'm reading you wrong but it sounds like you got it backwards? It's a Norwegian kid being sued by a US company, threatening to go to court in the kid's home territory. Of course it's not actually going to go to court there, because it's Norway, but still.

No you didn't read wrong, I thought it was an American kid being sued by a Norwegian company.
