Extreme Discover How Difficult Is It To Copyright Dance Moves So They Won’t Be Stolen As Fortnite Emotes?
By now, most of us should be familiar with the distinctive choreography of Beyonce’s Single Ladies: the hand waving, the immaculate flick of the wrist, and the gesturing towards the ring finger as Beyonce sings, “If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.” These moves, at least to some extent, were slated to be made available in Fortnite sometime in the near future, according to data miners who discovered these details in public documents from the ‘Epic Versus Apple’ lawsuit. This revelation is probably of no surprise; after all, Epic Games have been appropriating dance moves for use as Fortnite emotes for as long as the battle royale game has existed, fending off several lawsuits in the process. A bigger question, instead, would probably be why Epic Games have yet to release these emotes, given that the dance is one of pop culture’s biggest touchstones.
