Now I'm wondering if anyone tried to sue WoW over the many, many references to real world dances and we just never heard about it.https://twitter.com/Polygon/status/1075115135155474433 …

WoW did not directly make money from the dances, there were/are millions of other components incorporated around and aside from the dances, the dances are a footnote at best. Fortnite Directly and solely made money off the dances as individual items. That is legally a difference.
Yeah I get what you’re saying, I just don’t know that it legally makes a difference. Including a copyrighted song in my movie has the same problems as selling the song all by itself.

Well it comes down the definition, purpose, and intent. Fortnites intent was to make money off the dances, they did it solely on that factor, and didn't hide it. WoW has never sought to make money from the dances, they were included as a bonus for other things you were paying for

As we’re both esteemed experts in copyright law, I think we’ll have to let the judge decide. See you in court, council.
