That's complete BS. The FAA owns the airspace above 500' in unpopulated areas and 1200' everywhere else, and enforces violations of privacy (ownership!) below those limits. Not only that, but as of March 16, every drone is required to have a blue-tooth-enabled transponder that the police (and even you) can monitor, which broadcasts the drone's FAA-identifiable numbers. It is significant, regarding this "airspace ownership" issue, that it is the POLICE (as well as the FAA) have been enabled to detect and prosecute violators.

The moment you acknowledge government confiscation of your private property, you lose it forever, and for everybody. Don't do that.

And if you find some moron flying a drone over your house, call the police.
