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.

HD VIDEO: Fort Hill Bridge spinout in July

A narrow line of showers was moving through Charleston in the late evening, with some sunlight filtering through the clouds in its wake. This was a setup for a rainbow over downtown, so I headed up to Fort Hill. An accident about a mile to the west on I-64 was causing a jam on the westbound lanes, so I framed a shot of the backup while I waited on the rainbow. A few minutes later I hear screeching tires in the eastbound lanes - I panned down to catch the tail end of a car sliding sideways on the curve.

Did you record a green Subaru with kayak racks? ;) Jes and I must have been close. We missed the spinout, but I noticed the the accident to the west as we drove by...

Maybe! I'll have to look at the video - I'd been there about 10 minutes when that happened.

LOL@ him driving into the wall after coming to a complete stop.

Am I crazy, or does it look like the Kanawha is flowing the wrong way?
