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.
Now I'm not going to pretend like I'm a huge Steelers fan, because I've never been that much into football. But I have many ties to Pittsburgh (my parents still live in the area and I visit there frequently), and I gotta say this game was just insane. This is the first sports event I've watched that I've had to take a couple of ibuprofen tablets afterward. My brother Matt is in downtown Pittsburgh tonight (where I had planned to be also if my right rear tire didn't have an unrepairable sidewall puncture). He'll also be there for the parade in a couple of days. I'll add the link to his photos once he posts them.
Congratulations Pittsburgh - Super Bowl 43 Champs!!!
