Interesting link there, Psychoman. Going to read more.

There are no rules about how one must behave or express oneself at this event (save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and experience of the community at large); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community. The event takes place on an ancient lakebed, known as the playa. By the time the event is completed and the volunteers leave, sometimes nearly a month after the event has ended, there will be no trace of the city that was, for a short time, the most populous town in the entire county. Art is an unavoidable part of this experience, and in fact, is such a part of the experience that Larry Harvey, founder of the Burning Man project, gives a theme to each year, to encourage a common bond to help tie each individual's contribution together in a meaningful way. Participants are encouraged to find a way to help make the theme come alive, whether it is through a large-scale art installation, a theme camp, gifts brought to be given to other individuals, costumes, or any other medium that one comes up with.

I don't much care for the people that go there with video cameras hoping to make a buck selling video tapes of it.
The reporting is ok, but the event isn't there for people to make a buck off of just going there to make a buck.

I feel the same about the video cameras there. Personal use is ok, but making money from it is wrong!

This year there should be 45 to 50 (k) people participating. And that's alot of video camera's. A few jackasses will try to make a few $$ on the bootlag video... but burningman org has a team of attorneys to deal with that problem.
