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

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. 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. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

Had two choices at Sayre this afternoon, north or south. I chose south. Nice tornadoes north. Turned out there was only one 'storm of the day' on an expected widespread outbreak day - when that happens, the chances of picking the right storm are not good!

The missed tornadoes were redeemed by an amazing upward lightning show at the Oklahoma City towers later. I captured my best tower lightning shot ever. Photos to come as soon as I find a Denny's to sit down, get something to eat and edit some photos.

Currently sitting on a rural road south of Elk City, Oklahoma looking at data. One of the most remote places I've ever updated this blog from (I barely have a cell signal). Not liking the convection firing all over the place, but thinking it may clear out in a couple of hours. SPC is talking high risk.
