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 …

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.

We could just get the internets favorite copyright attorney involved, cause who doesn't love
@leonardjfrench and for additional kicks get@BoozyBadger to make it a real dog and pony show. -
Making money off the dances doesn't make it copyright infringement. Simple dance moves are not protected. Only a sufficient pattern or series of moves qualifies as protectable choreography. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/fortnite-suits-may-have-to-dance-around-copyright-limits …
