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.

PHOTO GALLERY: "Defiance" Gateway Arch photo shoot images

Back in October, I was commissioned to do a photo shoot of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis for Syfy / NBC Universal's television series/video game entitled "Defiance". The digitally enhanced images of the Arch are now rolled out in all of the promotional artwork on signs, billboards and posters for both the TV series and the video game.

The series and game storyline is about earth after an alien invasion, centered on a post-invasion and 'terraformed' St. Louis. The city, where the only remaining sign of the past is the surviving Gateway Arch, is renamed 'Defiance'. The game and TV series will be intertwined as the story progresses.

I added a special section of the St. Louis photo gallery consisting of images captured during the "Defiance" photo shoot.

The video game will be released next week (April 2), and the television series will debut on Syfy on April 15.

The following links show some examples of the "Defiance" Arch images in use:
