"With this letter the FAA is claiming that drone-obtained art created
by a hobbyist becomes retroactively 'commercial' if it is ever sold,
or if, as here, it is displayed on a website that offers monetization
in the form of advertising," Peter Sachs, a Connecticut-based attorney
specializing in drone issues told me. "Selling art is unquestionably
one's right, and the government is forbidden from infringing upon that
right." Hanes told me that his videos are technically "monetized" on
YouTube but that he has never received a payment from Google and the
revenue he's technically earned from Google's ads is less than a
dollar.

Huh FAA? -- SAY WHAT???? Hoping this turns out to be a rogue inspector
off the beam. This makes no sense at all.
