The mother of “Orange Shirt Kid” wants justice for her son, and is suing Epic Games over Fortnite’s Orange Justice dance emote. It’s the latest legal tangle for Epic, which is now facing multiple lawsuits over dance-based emotes in its battle royale game.

The complaint, first reported by Variety, was filed in California court by Rachel McCumbers, the mother of the boy known as Orange Shirt Kid (named as C.C.M. in court documents) whose video went viral within the Fortnite community last year. The suit alleges copyright infringement, arguing that Epic copied the dance move — named “the Random” by the boy — and the catchphrase (“It’s also a great exercise move”), but “did not credit Orange Shirt Kid nor seek his consent to use, display, reproduce, sell, or create a derivative work based upon Orange Shirt Kid’s Random dance or likeness in Fortnite.”
