The government of the United States began to protect the dances under the copyright law from the Copyright Act of 1976, the last time a major revision of the copyright law was made. According to the lawsuit, 2 Milly requested to register her dance in the Copyright Office on December 4, but according to, the registered copyright is not a requirement for the protection of copyright. The company did not have permission to use the dance. While there are white actors and artists whose dance movements also appear in Fortnite, they are also citing this as a racial issue. The debate on this issue, originally originated by Chance the Rapper in July, has been gaining momentum again, as 2 Milly and others have continued to express their opinion. 2 Milly is very upset. "If you want to see it, you can play Fortnite, because they stole that shit!" He said about the dance he did at the venue during production.




"I think they believe they can channel African-American talent because they doubt there is any legal consequence," Hecht told Kotaku in a telephone interview. He said he believes there is a general expectation in the business world that individual artists, even if they are famous, can not deal with a large corporation like Epic, which calls it an alarming trend. The Hecht firm recently represented Nigerian jewelry maker Chris Aire, who reached an agreement with French luxury maker LVMH for the use of its registered trademark "Red Gold". When he was interviewed, an Epic spokesman said he had not commented on it. The lawsuit revolves around the claim of copyright, alleging that Epic violated the advertising rights of 2 Milly under California law.
