Tropical Storm Dean

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.

Tropical Storm Dean, the first potentially significant Atlantic tropical cyclone of the season, has just developed - and has the potential to affect the Carolinas. Landfall will be sometime later next week, so there is plenty of uncertainty as to the general track of the storm - but something to keep an eye on. Dean is expected to become a hurricane in the next few days and continue strengthening. The advantage to living in North Carolina now is that a hurricane landfall intercept anywhere from Georgia to Delaware is just a quick trip up or down I-95.
