From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

Thanks to the West Virginia Department of Highways and their contractors, I was able to get a close-up look at the anti-icing overlay being installed on the Little Sandy Bridges on I-79 near Elkview this morning. Much like the Carter/Fort Hill/Oakwood bridge on I-64 in Charleston, the Little Sandy Bridges' curved configuration on a 70mph stretch of highway makes it another notorious hotspot for ice-related car accidents in the winter.

UPDATE 8/9/08: Photos, video and more details have been posted here.
