Yep this. It's really hard to take the moral high ground when it means not having the money to afford going to a convention at all (tables are super expensive, printing art and other merchandise is a huge cost, traveling to the convention cost... to just break even at a convention I have to sell a lot.) It's even more difficult when you see professionals at every table doing it.

You may think then, "Well don't go to the convention?" But half of having a successful career in art is making connections, and industry people go to conventions and seek out new talent. Typically they don't care if you're selling fanart, they want to see what your skill level is.

Fanart is a great way to advertise your own art, I've gotten real job offers after people saw my fanart, I know other people who have gotten the same.

There are also legal ways to sell fanart, if you do a parody or can prove fair use. Copyright law isn't as cut and dry as most people think it is. Major companies often don't respect the copyrights of individual artists either (Disney has often stolen from artists who don't have the money to fight back.) So really, small time fanartists selling a 10 dollar print at a con is not the major problem.
