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.

Update 8:51PM CDT: Success in Oklahoma! Made a LONG haul to the Oklahoma tornado machine and bagged 2 on the ground at the same time. A small number considering the millions of tubes this thing put down before we got to it, but we're not empty-handed today! A couple of quick photos - more to come!

Currently on the road back to Amarillo tonight with two very happy tour guests. Maybe some lightning photography later tonight, if the models are correct.

11:34AM CDT: Trying again today in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Setup is more conditional today there - no outbreak, but if a storm can go up it should have a chance at something. This will allow one more storm chase day before our guests have to fly out tomorrow.

The storm at west of Enid, OK become tornadic supercell. It's not a big day but I hope you catch tornadoes today. Good luck!
