Even though I side with the drone flyers I see valid arguments for both sides of this issue. One has to wonder why the drone flyers are even thinking of trying to fight the mighty developer. To prove that you have done everything legally does not necessarily make what you are doing right. Are the drone flyers really ready to fund this legal action just to appease the public who want to see their videos or are they trying to protect the substantial income they derive from the videos? I love the videos and information these people put out as do many of us, but shouldn't the developer be able to conduct their business without the 5 or 6 prying eyes looking at every move they make? They want to control the narrative, and shouldn't they have the right to do so? Would you want to run a business under the scrutiny and dissemination of information such as what they're experiencing? Beyond the legal issues of air space and privacy there are other issues of how much freedom should be allowed to conduct business under the law. Here we have two businesses that are clashing in the legitimate conducting of their businesses. Should this go to legal action it will certainly be an interesting battle, probably with monumental decisions.
