    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...

    Selling a Care Refresh replacement drone question

    I've always claimed the process was confusing so I'm hoping the OP will confirm. I don't know what DJI does in practice as opposed what they claim they will do. Imagine this. You get a drone that is "bound" to another account and you don't know the owner and they won't respond (but the drone...

    Selling a Care Refresh replacement drone question

    Similar situation mentioned here: DJI replaced my M3P. How do I take it off my name and register the new drone?

    Insta360 Antigravity

    The Antigravity A1 drones are now 15% off everywhere including Best Buy. Pretty nice discount after only a couple months launch. Still not enough for me, I need it at least 50%. Goes thru until mid-February so it might indicate they believe the Avata 360 is ready to launch and the A1 can at...

    Why are there no TFRs over Minneapolis?

    You can be sure there will be at least one DHS official in any law enforcement gathering pretty much everywhere. But you will never know it until you get swarmed by local police who don't want your drone anywhere near them. I was planning to take my drone to the next protest that came to my...
