Music from the Road 5: Steven Curtis Chapman

By DAN ROBINSON

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 week's Music from the Road is a sampler of Steven Curtis Chapman's diverse range of styles spanning from rock to classical.

Whatever

From Chapman's 1999 album Speechless.

Long Way Home

From Chapman's 2011 album Recreation.

No Greater Love

This track from Chapman's 2001 album Declaration was inspired by the tragic and incredible story of missionaries Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming and Roger Youderian reaching out to the Huaorani people in Ecuador. This story was dramatized in the 2005 movie End of the Spear. Mincaye himself has a part in this song.
