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. |
Thanks for the info (I did not see the sticky)..... I'm not entirely buying it however. Are you telling me that for anyone who attends BM and takes personal photos, those photos are the legal property of the event organisers? That would never hold up in any court of law, and how in the world do people put BM photos all over their Facebook pages and other places without being sued?..... I should also point out Bars and clubs are also private property, but wet-t contest photos don't seem to be an issue.
I can understand the mods not wanting any potential legal hassells, and that it's just not worth the risk (or costs) that you might potentially have to fight it (even if you are within your legal rights).... I'm not gonna argue that "they should allow them" but I do believe the mods would be entirely within their legal rights to do so.... kind of sucks, but it is true that some things just aren't worth fighting for.
