Cameras. Especially videocameras. It's one thing to do something at a
Fest. It's another thing entirely to do it on tape, and maybe end up
on the web. The whole point of an event like this, is for people to
be able to let their hair down, and do things that they might not do
in mundane life. I talked to a number of people who said they were
ready to cut loose at the burn, and then saw that videocamera pointed
at the flame. This had a chilling effect, because the moment that
camera was out, this wasn't a private place any more.

Guys, seriously, lose the cameras, especially the videocameras.
Photographing people like this, without their consent, is not cool.
