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.

Storms just couldn't get it together on Sunday. I still had a good day, the most interesting experience being the Weatherford, OK wind turbines turning to face the outflow from storms moving in from the west. After that, it was an all-night lightning shoot at the Oklahoma City 'tower farm'.
