Oliver Herzfeld, Forbes; Fortnight [sic] Sued Over Swiped Dance Move
"Rapper 2 Milly recently filed a lawsuit against Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite Battle Royale. Essentially, 2 Milly claims Epic engaged in copyright infringement by stealing his dance move, the “Milly Rock,” renaming the move “Swipe It” and offering if for sale in Fortnite. The question is, are dance moves copyrightable?"
