    Drone shows ice storm damage

    No sorry, not me not my video. I usually label it, forgot to this time....I'll go back. I've always thought about doing something like this but sometimes I get self-conscious about going around looking at all the damage while people are having a hard time. I guess it would be ok in my own AO...

    Drone shows ice storm damage

    Personally I do NOT have any issues with launching the drone but I wanted to know what fellow drone pilots think about someone who brings out their drone to a scene or fly around the neighborhood surveying potential damage during an event (not a disaster area) or later during the cleanup or...

    Are you liable if someone else uses your media for commercial purposes without your permission?

    yep, I posted those videos here the other day. LOL have a good day! :)

    Are you liable if someone else uses your media for commercial purposes without your permission?

    Certainly that is true. If the FAA were investigating, they would be remiss if they overlooked the video posted on YouTube and did not analysis it thoroughly to assist with making a legal determination. For example, if they watch a video and the drone is flying different angles capturing a...

    Roving TFR rules

    The government has determined that it is unwise to publish these "roving TFRs" since it would likely give away the current location of the secret police forces. Therefore "roving TFRs" are not revealed but they do exist and will be enforced by....the secret police. How convenient.

    Are you liable if someone else uses your media for commercial purposes without your permission?

    I look at it this way: Part 107 is the default. Every drone flight requires part 107 in order to be legal. There is an exception: 44809. If you fly under the rules of 44809 then you qualify for the exception and you don't need a part 107, that flight is exempt. This should clear up the...

    Are you liable if someone else uses your media for commercial purposes without your permission?

    This isn't part of equation; ever. Channel owners have no control over what YouTube does on the platform and it's irrelevant what a subscriber sees on their personal computer in terms of ads or sponsorship material while they are video your videos. Mentioning it here in the context of an FAA...

    Are Sky Swaps Still Legal? New 2026 law for Real Estate Photos

    The AI hysteria is real and it won't be long before many more aspects of life will have similar laws regarding "AI-altered content." Editing software like Davinci Resolve will one day be called Davinci Resolve AI because there won't be anything about it that doesn't have something AI-related...

    Roving TFR rules

    My opinion follows: No worries, the 6th amendment of the Constitution is alive and well. Our justice system is built on the plea bargain process and unless you are foreign actor with nefarious intentions (which you could easy pickup that label) then you just need to bend the knee and you'll be...

    DJI issues urgent warning: 6 months until possible ban

    Anyone still believe it's a good idea for the government to get involved with TikTok, to force partnerships and other things to happen thru laws and regulations? This is the beginning of the long painful end of this social media platform and even if it survives, imagine where it could be today...

    These are interesting stories. These people are being ratted out by fellow pilots and/or YouTubers. "I'm with the government, we're here to help!" 🤣 [not me, not my videos]

    Are you liable if someone else uses your media for commercial purposes without your permission?

    I think we agree with this. If there are illegal flight activities in the video clip, whomever flew the drone is responsible in the eye of the FAA who regulate drone flights and flight safety. I believe the OP mentioned everything in the video was on the up and up. However, the FAA would have...

    Selling a Care Refresh replacement drone question

    Sure, because you'll get back a replacement drone....bound to another DJI account. 🤣 :) Anyway, I don't know exactly how it works, that's why I'm hoping the OP can shed some light on what's going on with his replacement. Or, if anyone else has anything to share, that would be great. Would be...

    FAA regulates drone flights. FAA does not regulate drone media and its usage.

    Selling a Care Refresh replacement drone question

    Of course it would, everyone knows Care Refresh cannot be transferred from one owner to another and it follows the drone and Care Refresh doesn't care if the person making the claim is the original owner, the previous owner, the current owner, or a future owner. This is not a question about...
