Not sure where to post this, or whether it's even a problem, but I noticed this while looking for EL wire on ebay:

Nope. Burning Glow Man is not Burning Man. Lots of ebayers use this tactic to get around the trademark restrictions.

I was thinking more of the line:

"Looks great in nightclubs, raves, Burning Man, music festivals, proms, and cocktail parties. It is tons of fun!"

Hey ho, so long as it's cool then it's cool.

They can't use it in the auction title, but if it is used in a description, then no action is taken. Just don't buy from them.

...and by the way Erbal, AntiM is about as official as it gets on this board - she is a volunteer Moderator of Eplaya. One of her jobs is to help monitor the board for commerce postings that violate the ToS (terms of service) - so she should know what she is talking about...

Its also an EBAY UK posting. copyright extends there, but is harder to enforce.

Funny that Burners care about copyrights for the sole purpose of stopping commercialism. When we gift stuff the copyright attitude is exactly the opposite.

Sorry, I didn't mean that to come across as though I was questioning AntiM in any way :s ... like I said, if it's cool it's cool ... I only just lost my virginity the other year, so I'm still learning how it all works
