Some people say if you fly a drone over my house Ill shoot it down. Oh really? Yesterday, at the Bloomberg West conference, I met Game of Drones. They made a drone that survives a shotgun blast. I also met Brendan Schulman, the Drone Lawyer. (Hes fighting the FAA on several fronts). Gonna go visit him in New York, we need a rational approach to regulation of drones. He confirms its illegal to shoot down a drone although it MIGHT be illegal to fly it over someones property. He recommends flying over public streets where its easier to defend. Turns out some property rights do extend over property. The drones are coming. This will be a BIG topic at LeWeb in December this year where Loic Le Meur and I will do something on stage regarding drones.
