<p>Fortnite isn&#8217;t laying down without a fight. As you might recall, the user-created characters in the video game celebrate their in-game triumphs by emulating dance crazes made popular by the peripheral characters of the hip-hop establishment. Of all the &#8220;dance&#8221; creators who&#8217;ve cried foul, only 2 Milly, the inventor of the &#8220;Milly Rock&#8221; has issued a lawsuit towards the Fortnite&#8217;s publisher Epic Games.</p>

<p>As it turns out, Epic Games is countersuing 2 Milly&#8217;s original complaint of copyright infringement. Their counterargument is based on two factors: A) they don&#8217;t believe 2 Milly invented the dance, and B) they believe the dance that appears in the game is substantially different than the &#8220;Milly Rock.&#8221;</p>
<p>In their legal tender, Epic Games made sure to outline their belief that no one person can own a dance. In their estimation, to claim a dance on an individual basis would be to defy the &#8220;building blocks of free expression,&#8221; as per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/12/fortnite-2-milly-dance-move-lawsuit-swipe-it-milly-rock/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TMZ</a>. As for the argument that Fortnite players aren&#8217;t even guilty of doing the &#8220;Milly Rock&#8221; because the inspiration for their &#8220;original&#8221; dance comes from a similar craze called the &#8220;Swipe It,&#8221; believe it or not.</p>
