“This is huge,” said Daniel Moore, the artist defending a lawsuit from the University of Alabama for painting the school’s football team and making selling paintings, prints, mugs and calendars for sale off those paintings.

The 11th Circuit upheld a district court’s ruling that Moore’s paintings and prints are protected by the First Amendment, and reversed the lower court’s decision by also protecting Moore’s prints on calendars.
