The Fornite dances have become viral throughout the Battle Royal seasons and have already caused two legal claims. Now, Epic Games Fornite again suffers a third lawsuit due to the use of a dance move in a Fortnite game, the information is that they apparently violated the property rights of this content.

This third lawsuit filed by the mother of the kid, a child who has become an Internet star and seems to be the original author of some very nice dance steps that took over social networks. The Kid offered his dance during a Fortnite contest to create add dances and emoticons to the Epic Games game and now his family has filed a lawsuit against the company, which says: "The plaintiffs have not received any credit, nor have they offered your consent for the dance to be used, displayed, reproduced, sold or recreated, as well as no credit has been offered to OSK "



As Variety explained, In the contest rules, Epic explains that players will not be paid for the use of selected dance moves and also states that they have the right to use the dance for advertising purposes for the game. The dance was never sold either, but was given as part of the free battle pass. So it had to be unlocked by playing, but not through a purchase. OSK presented the dance through a series of tweets, now deleted, and the terms and conditions published by Epic for the participants specified that the winners would not receive No payment for your proposals and that acceptance of the competition conditions. Contest supposed the transfer of rights. Since this emote was never offered for sale, since it was handed out to users as a reward for the Battle Pass, it is difficult to blame Epic for "unauthorized misappropriation," as specified in the lawsuit. Despite this, it should be mentioned that OSK did not win the EG contest, and that their dance was only added to Fortnite after the community organized a campaign to include it.

Despite these legal problems, the developer did not have any negative effect on the incredible amount of money generated during 2018, and we are confident that it will continue to increase in this new year.

Epic Games is accused of "inappropriate and inappropriate use" of the child's original dance. "The plaintiffs have not received any credit, nor have they offered their consent for the dance to be used, displayed, reproduced, sold or re-created, nor has any credit been offered to Orange Shirt Kid."






The truth of the lawsuit is that the Orange Shirt Kid family asks for a millionaire compensation for the sales generated by these dances in the game of fifteen years.

We will be aware of the evolution of the multiple demands. Recall that they are currently in dispute for the dance of Floss and the Prince of Bel-Air.
