Pilot challenges FAA authority to restrict use of drones.

An experienced video drone pilot is fighting a $10,000 fine by FAA, arguing that they acted improperly because they declared a regulation without having a "public notice-and-comment period".

A few industry bodies are supporting him, including the Motion Picture Association of America (who suggest that drones are safer on sets than manned helicopters) and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International who think the US is losing billions in revenue, stating the drone industry will have an "economic impact" of $82 Billion between 2015 to 2025.
