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.

any word from the marian county area? We were under tornado warning for over an hour last night with NOAA reporting dopler tracking of a tornado near Pricketts Fort. However, today, I cannot locate any pics or reports (locally) of the tornado. Great pics btw--good luck on your travels.

Wow, a supercell above all of those trees and hills, very nice! You really have to be in the right place to get pics like those.
