let's ask the next question: why are they enemies? because we're rich? or because we and our "allies" dictate the terms of economic and financial terms of the planet and force everyone into compliance with the policies of WTO, NAFTA, IMF, GAT, etc, etc.
"The opposite of courage is not cowardice, but compliance"
who *sells* food there? if you notice, it's a gift economy. that means a spontaneous giving of something valuable (metaphorically) with out expectation of receiving: kinda like xmas (note sarcasm). sometimes the gift economy morphs into a barter situation. but who gets a cut? the man? larry harvey? if there is licensing it is because to the jurisdiction of the camp. pershing county or some state office is the recipient.
as for the copyright thing, the burning man organization has *no copyright* on any photographs you image at the event. except if you attempt to *sell* and make profit from it. then they get upset. as an example i googled "burning man photos" and clicked this link: http://www.rain.org/~philfear/burngallery.html . please note there is no deferral of copyright to the burning man organization. you'll find plenty of examples of people streaming video and showing images. but NOT for profit. and NOT in any way which might appear sanctioned by the burning man organization.
the burning man event exists not as an island with perfectly defined borders: money out there, no money in here. but it exists as a dynamic, living entity with many touch points in the surrounding bureaucracy. it costs over $500,000 -alone- for the permit from blm. sure there are money exchanges at many levels but as you approach the essence of what the burn is about, money is all but forgotten. and so is commercialism.
all the commercialism is in reno *before* you get to brc:)
hello? commercial? name *1* corporate sponsor or promotion anywhere at burning man. you can't because your ticket price is the tax. there is no corporate underwriting. i take it back: ice and coffee are for sale but only because of the losers who can't figure out what they'll need... but no logo's!
hey, some of us take exception to that crack-pipe crack.
have you been to burning man? didn't think so. do you review movies only from the trailers you catch on ET? thought so.
would you deny some body's experience of burning man simply because you're too shallow to see similarities of it to yourself? whoops, existentialism creep.
push away from the tube and turn of tv. you need to get out more. -but not to burning man, please.
