Lawsuits over Fortnite dance emotes paused after Supreme Court ruling
The handful of artists who’re suing Fortnite maker Epic Games over the use of their dances as emotes in the popular battle royale have been dealt a bit of a blow. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the plaintiffs trying to sue Epic for infringing on their copyright can’t proceed with their suits unless there’s actual copyright. Unless those dances are registered with the US Copyright Office, they have no ground for action.
