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.

This article was originally a section of my Storm Chasing & Photography FAQ. The subtopic has become large enough to make an article in itself, so I pulled this text out of the FAQ and made it into this standalone page.

If you were to poll non-storm chasers about what they thought the biggest risks to a storm chaser were, you'd almost always hear tornadoes, hail and lightning mentioned. I'm entering into my 19th year in the hobby, and have yet to be harmed, or even seriously threatened, by any of those. So what are the risks of being a storm chaser? Here's my answer:

your really tough and i appreciaten you being a storm chaser im in middle school my class is seing all your videos.
