Is Cariou v Prince about the Money?

In my latest Hyperallergic article, part Two of a there part series on the importance (or not) of the Cariou v Prince case, I discuss the money issue:

“The Prince team, in asking that “the judgment of the district court should be reversed and summary judgment entered for Defendants” or that “ the judgment should be reversed and the case remanded for a new determination on the issue of fair use” has a lot at stake. And only a sliver of that has to do with all the sweat and tears that went into that masterpiece. It can be argued that perhaps more of the stake is in the artist’s market.”
