The problem isn't just Moore. If he has to pay, then that removes the incentive for others to do the art in the first place and we and the University suffer. We suffer by not having such cool artwork to choose from, the University suffers by not having our artwork around the nation and our image therefore suffers.
Many years ago, I was touring some of the skyboxes at Doak Campbell stadium, home of the Criminoles, and just as you walked into one of the boxes, on your left was a large print artwork of Coach Bryant wearing his classic "elephant stepping through the A" hat. That is "goodwill" for the University. If the University has it's way, that artist may not have even bother to do the artwork in the first place because the University would have to get it's cut. It doesn't matter anyway, they will lose, Moore will win, this has already been argued in the Tiger Woods case and Tiger lost. The University will come away looking like shit and that will be that. PS: It doesn't bother me what he charges for prints, he does because he can. He does limited edition prints and people are willing to pay to have a copy.
