TV Free Burning Man - Archive 80 items | updated Mar 31 2011

TV Free Burning Man is the first pirate TV station capable of reaching 52 million homes world wide by taking over the airwaves of Current TV. Throughout the week long Burning Man event held in the Black Rock Desert, NV, participants are empowered to take the media messages coming out of Burning Man into their own hands - literally.
