A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit in which two former University of Maryland mens basketball players accused makers of the Fortnite video game of misappropriating a dance move that the ex-teammates popularized. Their copyright infringement lawsuit claimed the Running Man dance emote that Fortnite players can purchase for their characters is identical to the dance that Nickens and Brantley took credit for creating. Ribeiro dropped his lawsuit against Epic Games last year after the U.S. But Plaintiffs claims that Epic Games copied the dance do not support any of their theories, the judge wrote.
