Will PUBG SHUT DOWN Fortnite?
When you’re on top, everyone is aiming to take you down. And no game this year has been MORE on top than Fortnite. Fortnite, with the success of its Battle Royale mode, is the number one target for everyone trying to get a piece of its crown and today, it once AGAIN finds itself knee deep in hot water. I’m talking lawsuits! First it was PUBG claiming that Fortnite had stolen its gameplay, then it was concerned parents worried over Battle Royale causing their children to become violent. And now, it’s Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air! That’s right, Carlton, Backpack Kid, and others are suing Fortnite for stealing their iconic dance moves. Can they legally do that? Is Fortnite in trouble YET AGAIN? Or will they be able to skate by unscathed? Today Loyal Theorists, we are dancing our way to the TRUTH about the Fortnite Dance controversy!
Don’t forget to snuggle up in our new hood-tastic holiday Theory Wear!

Fortnite stole everything from Minecraft: The pickaxes, the creative mode, etc.
rift was from pvz 2
EVEN THE WALKING!!
They even stole thanos
Bad line of thought, the first to create doesn’t own the idea or spirit of play. This is why we don’t call for games doom clones anymore.
Fortnite steals from everything. It needs to die

Adonai LR shut up fortnight sucks ok ?! Deal with it
Guys, I know Orange Shirt kid submitted the dance as a contest entry — it was just a dramatic device for framing the episode around whether arguing if Orange Shirt owns the dance. Technically, all contest submissions would be owned by Epic. I just liked the hypothetical.
Also, in case you missed it, I already had a note about Roy Purdy in the episode (along the bottom of the screen). But since it’s “Orange Justice,” I figured it’d make sense to give credit to him.
I was about to say that…
The orange shirt kid did not create the dance. He was actually bullied for copying it from someone else, who he copied it from, that is for you to find out.
Your soo smart
5:09 You mean like Marlon Webb and the Best Mates emote.
The Game Theorists but backpack kid does not own the floss so he can’t really sue epic for it
The backpack kid is not the owner of the floss

From a legal standpoint, sure, Epic Games will most likely come out on top.
But you can’t deny the fact that they’re making LOADS of money off these emotes and there’s also a small problem of public ridicule; those who don’t want their famed dance in the game because the general public are making fun of them for it.
That’s the point here, you’re using standpoints such as a wedding video getting copyrighted – yet a wedding video isn’t going to make loads of money off the dance, neither is it going to defame someone as not everyone is going to see it or do it at a wedding where it’ll be called a “wedding” dance.
Let’s keep it in perspective here.
For example, Epic Games themselves has a legal little footnote about their game engine use for example; you use it for free and develop games with it and even sell those games. But once that game’s sales reach a monetary threshold, that developer/owner of the game needs to start paying Epic Games money. The same concept should really be done for these dance emotes. If you make a certain amount of money from this dance emote, a percentage of it should go to the person where the dance most likely originated. Usually the origin will be from the most popular distinction which you could easily pull from a google search statistical analysis. Rather than digging backwards trying to find the true origins, as that is not the most popular distinction as it is based on majority public familiarity. Again I’m pointing towards those who are directly referenced and ridiculed from their dance being used somewhere undesirable.
Here put yourself in these shoes, say you made up a dance, it went viral and even though it had some inspiration from a few other dances, it’s still your own creation and you’re well known for this dance. Then let’s say a company comes along, takes your dance that you’re well known for and sells it on a platform where young kids are now doing the dance. Originally your dance was not supposed to be for little kids, it was a dance you held in high regard because it was well choreographed and impressive. But now it’s been reduced to a children’s dance and now all the people who admired you for the dance is now making fun of you for the dance. If it were me, I don’t even CARE about the money… I just don’t want to be made fun of.. but the damage is already done and I want to feel like I’ve been compensated for such a scummy practice that was done without any consideration for myself or others. It’s the PRINCIPLE, not so much the money. But it seems the only way you can win on the principle would be to win money. So it’s going to be seen as a cash grab lawsuit either way unfortunately.

Fortnite needs to end
True.,just like snoop dogs dance kid said he’s dance was fortnite – __-
Ayame Kajou *FeEliNgS aRe MoRe ImPoRtAnT tHaN fAcTs*

In the future Sueing Call of Duty 420 For copying the idea of walking.
COD 420….Good grief that’s painfully realistic…
That is Iceman from MCOC (Marvel Contest of Champions, a mobile app), not a Fortnite character!!!
*The problem: Lawyers play Fortnite*
But he did not Win
they also stole dances from other games like overwatch, stealing a zarya emote and relabelling it work it out
*cough*
Also the soldier dance from teamfortress2
Mat listen studio’s made the floss so the backpack kid shouldn’t be souing fortnite if he didn’t make it
Ok. Ill be frank, if you dont do a film theory on black mirror, i will instantly die.
Well you screwed yourself there pal. He might do it, but since you’ll instantly die you can’t live to see it.
Damn i was looking for this
+Pumpkin Spice McSpooder Are there any other choices?
MYG Gaming they’re hard out for cash since they haven’t done anything for a while so they’re hopping on the band wagon and suing epic games just like the next person and backpack kid can eat a dick if he thinks he owns that dance or even created it
+Mr NiceGuy you can hire a pebble that you find on the street but they are unprofessional and cheap
Did you read the first comment
yaaaaaaaaas XD
You can sue them because there selling the dances for money idiot
MLG Batman Go play some more fortnite kid. This is a big boy conversation
Thats sooooo true
Yeah, so even if he wanted to sue Epic, which, because he was trying to get his dance into the game he probably wouldn’t want to, they could still say that because it was a competition for a dance to be in the game, they are justified. Loved the vid!

+MYG Gaming But surely because MLG is on the performers’ side and not Fortnite, he doesn’t like Fortnite.
