Fortnite dance copyright battle reignited by appeals court

TL;DR
The legal battle over the copyright of a dance in Fortnite has been reignited as an appeals court suggests that choreography can involve protectable elements such as timing, use of space, and energy of the performance. The court disagreed with the district court's ruling that choreography is unprotectable when viewed in isolation. The case raises questions about the application of copyright to a series of dance moves and highlights the power imbalance between wealthy corporations and individuals seeking compensation for their work.
