[QUOTE="Blue Baron, post: 16699, member: 1204"] LOL And that's coming from the US. The US created an entire billion dollar industry by breaking many existing laws: the internet corporations. Google, Facebook, Amazon, ... they're all breaking the law (tax, privacy, copyright etc.) and are getting away with it. If there is one thing to learn in a time of an emerging technology: Don't take the law *too* seriously, or you become a sheep rather than a wolf. E.g., look at drones and how C.Neistat is using them. He creates great footage by bending the law and is getting away with it - even in direct dialogue with the police. I'd even say it is good for our hobby. Because the more this kind of footage becomes normal, the more people accept to see drones flewn that way. Assuming a safe flight not risking to harm anybody, i.e., a lightweight enough craft, not over crowd etc. Another example I watch closely is youtuber serpentza. He's plenty of drone footage, even near the North Korean border and flies multiple drones, from Spark to Inspire. He's often called by Chinese police to "not film" in an area. Normally, police was called by suspicious residents and he gets away with continued filming. Flying a drone was a lesser problem so far. What I mean: What is "allowed" does very much also depend on what people "think" is normal. And there, we should NOT AT ALL police ourself. Never! [/QUOTE]
