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.

The eastern USA enjoyed a total lunar eclipse on Saturday evening. The eclipse started after 6:00PM and lasted until after 10:00PM. The moon turned a deep orange-red color during totality at 8:06PM EST (right). Skies over most of West Virginia were clear, allowing for an easy view of the event. I was blessed to be able to film the eclipse from the comfort of my living room on this cold November evening.
