From Eurogamer: "Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor known for playing Carlton in the TV series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has hit a major stumbling block in his legal action against Fortnite and Epic Games, and 2K Games and the NBA 2K series. He's been refused copyright of the Carlton dance.
The US Copyright Office made no bones about it."

Well look at that. There is some sanity left in the world.
Kind of hard to copyright a dance when there's no actual substance behind the why it should be copyrighted.
Did anything think this would actually go through? You can't copyright a simple dance move... it has to be a full choreographed dance piece. Waving your arms from one side to the other doesn't count...
If this is the case, then Epic shouldn't be able to make money from these dances. I never like the idea of the dancers suing Epic, but at the same time, Epic got the idea of these dances from the dancers, therefore, if they can't make money from it, then Epic shouldn't either.
The idea that a gaming company can profit off of a creative dance that is linked to a specific person, is wrong. Dances that resemble a likeness to a specific creator, should all be free. If consumers are paying for emotes that originated from tv series, or music videos, Epic should not be profiting from them.
