Now that Fortnite is a big hit, everybody wants a piece of the action. Desperate D-list actors like Ribiero and con jobs like Backpack Kid need to go away. They can't copyright a dance and it was never theirs to being with. --- Sig under construction! <cite>GreatEvilEmpire posted [p:914370187] in Alfonso Ri...

GreatEvilEmpire 12/19/18 12:46:14 AM #56:	Look at ballet. So many similar moves and none are copyrightable. What is copyrightable is the entire duration of the choreographed dance, so that other choreographers can't steal it. All these lawsuits have no chance. They're just single moves or a couple of moves. If this was allowed, every spin and jump in dance would be copyrighted and nobody can use it... which would destroys the very fabric of self expression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2nTXsivHs" data-time=" --- Sig under construction! <cite>GreatEvilEmpire posted [p:914371030] in Alfonso Ri...
