Sorry to drag on about this, but I do feel the need to add this point...... It is true that they have the right to control photography inside the event, but they have no right to control photography outside the event...... They can dictate when and where people take photos, or if photos are even allowed, but unless they have everyone sign contracts about useage and dissemination of images and media (which I'm sure they don't), they have right to dictate what people can do with their personal images and media.

Purchasing the ticket and setting foot inside the event is entering into the contract you describe. On the back of every ticket is printed the terms and conditions relating to photography and the usage thereof. Failure to comply with those terms is treated as trespass by the organizers and they take legal action when such trespass is committed.

Burning Man is not a public event. Since it is a private event held on private property (for which you must pay hundreds of dollars to attend) it is well within the rights of the Burning Man organizers to control all photography and complain if that control is breached.

According to this article, until at least 2013, and maybe beyond, it was not held on private property. And there is a big difference in terms of what you can legally enforce photographically on private vs public property.

"Private property, however, does seem to be in our future, given the decreased fees and increased freedom that holding the event on private property would bring."

Every participant in this private event agrees to Burning Man (BMP) being assigned joint ownership/copyright of all photos taken at the event. Acceptable "personal use" is defined and anything other than that is a breach of BMP copyright.

All this is moot. OCC (being the recipients of any takedown notices) gets to decide the policy of this website in regard of BM photos and the position it has taken is crystal clear.

THIS HAS TURNED INTO NOTHING BUT A DISCUSSION WITH NO PICTURES.
