The ongoing lawsuits against Epic Games took another dramatic turn this week as Alfonso Ribeiro, 2 milly, and backpack kid all dropped their claims against Epic. This happened after the US Copyright Office refused to grant a copyright on the Carlton Dance. Until these individuals are able to obtain a copyright on their work, they cannot proceed with the lawsuit.
