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.

LINK: Nightsounds web site

I discovered this one-of-a-kind radio show in the spring of 1997 via WJYP 100.9 FM in Charleston, WV, not surprisingly during my several-times-per-week nighttime drives in the country (usually after work updating the local newspaper web site). Christian radio has been full of great material I've discovered over the years, but Nightsounds tops my list as one of my all-time favorites.

The show is hosted by accomplished trombonist and Christian radio broadcaster Bill Pearce, and typically airs late at night on widely scattered stations across the country. The show consists of Pearce talking about a chosen topic, interspersed with music that fits the theme of that night's broadcast. The show's defining characteristic is Pearce's calm voice and demeanor, one that conjures up visions of a grandfather sitting down giving advice/comfort/small talk to his grandkids.

During one of my random internet searches last week, I visited the Nightsounds web site and was saddened to read that Pearce had passed away in February of 2010. He was truly one of the greats of Christian radio in my mind. The show lives on in the form of reruns on the air and via the Nightsounds site. Give it a listen sometime.

The voice of N.S. for me was God Himself. The introductory music (Beau Soir) is from a heavenly source ... it was from heaven. I have been helped greatly & I praise God!
