The inventor of the “Electric Slide,” an iconic dance created in 1976, is fighting back against what he believes are copyright violations and, more importantly, examples of bad dancing. Kyle Machulis, an engineer at San Francisco’s Linden Lab, said he received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice about a video he had shot at a recent convention showing three people doing the Electric Slide.
The guy who copy-wrote the move should be happy as is that people are foolish enough to perform such a ridiculous dance move. Regardless, in the words of our elite coder Ben, “Why couldn’t somebody have done that for the Macarena?” Agreed.
