So is the message here that unless you're a subject matter expert you shouldn't express your opinion? I don't know. That would seem to make for some pretty short comment threads.

I don't know as that I consider myself as an expert. But, I did have a college course on marketing and copyright with respect to filing conventions in regards to photography.
I've also been around for decades, and have seen many copyright claims upheld on material about which I hadn't given a second thought.

I agree also most actors or entertainment stars shouldn't have to do dispute a issue publicly over some petty **** like this.
If the fornite developers would agree to give them a reasonable chunk of money to keep the dancing and give proper credit all people win.
If they refuse to pay when asked and the facts are stacked against them.
Yeah they need to be sued after trying to be reasoned with.

Wouldn't it be one of those "self evident truths", that for a person to judge when someone else "thinks they're an expert" on any given topic, that they would have to think they're an expert, or be an expert themselves to make that call?
