It seems that DJI made a unit that is more capable than they expected and which was taken up eagerly by the common folk. This has led to a big problem with things such as restricted/unsafe/private areas that were out of reach before.
Also the increase in incidents around airports etc has led to pressure from the Gov to pull this back.
Also many users attitudes of I can fly anywhere I want at any time may have been a challenge accepted by DJI.
DJI is a Chinese company and therefore owned by China which is fully prepared to deal with problems as they see fit.
But like I said the burden of the fallout should not be subsidized by the end users at the consumer's expense.
Either DJI does appropriate grandfathering in or they give option for those not accepting the new Terms to have their Mavic refunded.A buyback if you will, like how software says if you don't accept the EULA, you can return it for a refund prior to opening said software package. Mavic's already activated should not be forced to be re-activated to accept "new terms" unless DJI gives users who do not consent a way out, such as their money back.
But what they are trying to get away with is very shady business practices. Potentially unlawful.
