Yesterday in a Lovelock, Nevada court Paul Addis plead guilty to felony charges of damaging property by burning the Burning Man sculpture prematurely at last year’s Burning Man event. He was sentenced to 12-48 months in prison and ordered to pay $25,000 in restitution. He was given 68 days off his sentence for time served.
There is quite a bit of discussion on this issue in the comments and on Tribe.
