Bama Suing Daniel Moore?

[Doemasters]

Not being an attorney, and without actually doing the home work to look it up....i'm of a mind to think that it has more to do with the contractual obligations to whatever lics. firm they signed on with and $$$ than anything else. I'm looking on @ on my desk here a pack of GUM. bout a buck 1/2 @ any store.
But it's Alabama Gum. i though it was a neat novelty (like coke bottles) so bought it. What is interesting about this packaging other than its UA theame?

The little OFFICIALLY LICENSED PRODUCT logo on the back ofthe package.

And that my freinds is the nuts and bolts of the lawsuit. They want to force Mr. Moore to offcialy license his art work, there by cuting the school and the licensing company in on the profits. And Mr. Moore doesen't want to do that. and you can't blame him 1 bit.
it's really a Henryetta the Hen Story, DM plowed the feild, planted the corn, grew the corn, picked the corn, shucked the corn, cooked the corn, & now they want to show up and help him enjoy eating the corn?

@ Doe, what's the worst they could do to you? If you were selling your photo's as a freelance sports photogropher to a news company, paper, magazine as a photo journalist....That's a violation of your constituinal rights to freedom of the press......i would think. How can they do that and get away with it?

The main thing is that i am taking pictures as a fan from my seats, i would understand more if i was on the sideline

Interesting is that Mr. Moore's "the Sack" occupied a nice piece of real estate in the University"s Bryant Museum for years. It helped the UA, and in doing so the UA helped Mr. Moore, and we all know it.

Daniel Moore, in my opinion, has such an unmistakabley special history and mutually benefitial relationship with the University that I wonder if he could not be given some special status/affiliation with the UA that would resolve most of this. I understand that a coffee mug Mr. Moore sells may have a moment in Alabama history printed on it, but it is just as true that the mug has a copy the Daniel Moore print that hangs in my living room printed on it. It is neither soley Bama nor Daniel Moore.

Slippery slop: Has my son broken the law by finger painting Big Al for my fridge?

Then i wouldn't let them tell me what to do.
Period.
If they havn't issued a sideline pass from the Media Relations Dept.
you paid for your seat. you have a right to take whatever picture you like IMO.
Same as every other fan.
IMO.

thats what i was thinking as well but decided not to argue with them anyway, i wasn't making anything off of them anyway. I will let more parents complain to them again this year when they find out. One told me they never get any pictures of their daughter and they always come to our site here and get them. She said that some that she ordered of her daughter cost her like 20.00 a picture
