NEW: The creator of Fortnite has beaten a lawsuit that claimed it stole the "Running Man" dance move from two former college basketball players.
The case included a range of intellectual property claims, but the judge called it a "square peg" being jammed into "round holes." pic.twitter.com/WQtsi8JzTW

Here’s the two on Ellen back in 2016.
Epic Games spokesman Nick Chester declined to comment Monday on the judge’s ruling.
Celebratory dances in Fortnite are called “emotes.” While the game itself is free to play, players can purchase the “emotes” and other character customizations.
Other artists, including Brooklyn-based rapper 2 Milly and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star Alfonso Ribeiro, also have sued Epic Games over other dances depicted in the shooting game.
