This will be interesting to watch. I wonder if the FAA will get involved?

with all due respect, and not directed at you, I would add that as long as we just sit back and watch, we will see our freedom to fly our drones reasonably in general will be eroded.

I remember many years ago saying something similar when the media markets were deregulated. I said, "Now watch as the choices and the real journalism become sequestered into oblivion, and the public gets spoonfed propaganda called news"

Too ugly to watch now.

I am sending my money out to AMA this weekend- it isn't much, but until I can learn more about policy and logic on these matters, and there is so **** much to consider, I have to defer to people who have spent time in the trenches- we as hobbyists need to be united into a large voice to be able to keep policy reasonable, or else we will see this guy become the first of many victims legislated into oblivion.

Here's some more info on that (the resultant lawsuit is at the end), along with some input from one of our resident legal eagles: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7813
