What do you think about the potential regulations on drones?

This is an interesting approach to the use of #drones

More information regarding the future regulations of drones is coming forward daily.

Seems like its not only the FAA that is cracking down on drone regulations.

First drone operator fined by the FAA settles for $1,100 Mariella Moon | @mariella_moon | 15 hrs ago The Federal Aviation Administration vs. Raphael Pirker legal roller coaster has finally come to an end, years after the latter allegedly flew a drone for commercial purposes in a reckless manner. Pirker, who has reached a deal with the FAA to settle his $10,000 fine for $1,100, was sued by the agency for using a Zephyr drone to capture aerial shots of the University of Virgini...a in 2011. In court, he argued that the Zephyr was but a model airplane and that the FAA had no right to regulate something not officially and legally classified as an aircraft. A National Transportation Safety Board judge initially sided with him and warned the FAA to be careful of what it calls a drone. But the decision was eventually overturned, effectively classifying small UAVs as aircraft ("any contrivance invented, used, or designed to navigate, or fly in, the air") falling under the FAA's jurisdiction. http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/23/faa-drone-pirker-case/

I can’t speculate, Williams said. My own personal hope is we get it out as soon as possible, but it’s got to go through the regulatory process that has been put in place by Congress and we’re working our way through that. We All know that we are not "days" away if we have to still send the regulation through congress...

Interesting Information. Will this change the drone industry?
