I think the complaints were based on the complainant feeling that flying
to drones around in the fireworks display risked the drone crashing into
spectators causing injury.
The FAA's end is to determine whether the flight & use of the video to
advertise his services constitutes "commercial use", which *is*
prohibited. The FAA is working on preparing rules for commercial use of
drones, and in the meantime commercial use is prohibited.
Private NON-commercial use is not prohibited, but there are rules
restricting when & where they can be used that this guy might have
violated (i.e. risked the drone crashing into spectators causing injury).

I don't get it from the article what were they complaining about?
Noise, sight of drone distracting them from enjoying the fireworks,
fear of drone crashing on their heads? Obviously we need regulation
for drones, but I think outright banning them is too harsh.

I've read some of you are toying with the idea of getting a drone,
this might give you some ideas ;)
