Most of us are conscientious about where we fly and the manner in which we fly. While I'm not necessarily a proponent of the FAA's rule making process, I can understand all of the different scenarios that must be considered when they look at proposing and then adopting regulations. I do believe its about safety and have a hard time understanding that money is a driving factor. Sure the aviation industry wants to keep flying but the studios in Hollywood would be able to save millions and they have a significant lobby effort.
If anything need to happen, their needs to be more accountability on the operators of the multirotors. Anybody can fly them and some don't give it much thought as to safety. Here's an example:

The guy is flying his Phantom out of Fort Snelling in MN. Take a look where this is at on the map. This borders MSP airport. While most of the air traffic operates on runways parallel to Fort Snelling, the crosswind runway is almost directly in line with this area.
My point is that if we have guys like this flying them and it creates an accident with an aircraft, this hobby will be done. There is enough people who are fearing us flying because of so-called privacy issues.
