But is this any different to downloading movies or music from a P2P network? Streaming and DVD-by-mail services offer relatively cheap, subscription-based access to movies and television shows. Given the leverage that the RIAA/MPAA has with various governments around the world, I'm pretty sure that when presented with the "evidence" (ie: masses of "valid" takedown notices), many governments would act to switch off or block MegaKey access. I wonder if copyright holders might be tempted to engage in some seeding of copyrighted material onto MegaKey just so they can then file takedown notices and, when the number of such notices reaches a reasonable threshold, launch claims that the service is little different to MegaUpload. Of course RIANZ is still whining about the fact that it's spent $250K doing its part to detect piracy and issue notices under the new law. Of course using a drone would also be a hell of a lot safer for those involved -- an engine failure while hovering at pylon-height would likely produce a very nasty crash!

The aerial shots in that video were done using a multi-rotor -- but it was almost certainly a breach of CAA's stated policies/regulations. Even our own local district council has been somewhat complicit in breaking news trump CAA's regulations by having promotional videos like this made using an unlicensed drone operator. If this is all about safety (which ought to be CAA's primary concern), how can something which happens 12 months after a flight affect the safety of a flight which took place a year earlier? The trend of relegated clubs to win an instant promotion back to the top flight continued, however. However, if even 12 months later, I sell the video I took from that flight, suddenly (and retroactively), that flight becomes illegal in the eyes of CAA. The classics are always good choices, but there are new games and updated versions of old ones that give great entertainment value while giving kids' eyes a break from video screens. It will also highlight some of the great work our teachers, staff, and students are doing throughout the district.

Unfortunately for those who subscribe to a service like this, the views are pretty few and far between. The next few months will be very interesting and a true test of the levels of corruption and graft within the political arena. This allows for up-to-the-minute medical information -- such as heart rate, blood-sugar levels and self-reported pain levels -- to be transmitted from an individual at home to off-site health workers. In 2010, the party also stood in the local elections on 6 May, but did not publish a list of candidates. Warwick University politics lecturer Stephen Kettell criticised the behaviour of the leadership of New Labour and their use of threats in parliament such as overlooking promotions for MPs in order to maintain party support. You can hit up the dollar store for small toy favors that kids can enjoy during the party. And before CAA get their panties in a bunch over small UAVs flying in parks and paddocks around NZ, maybe they ought to start spending some time and effort policing full-sized craft and their pilots. The number one thing to do is to create a "low risk" class of UAVs.

Once that's done, CAA will have a much easier task of dealing with the "heavy duty" UAVs and no longer have to worry about the vast majority of people who fly these lightweight craft and represent no real threat or danger to anyone else. It is also stupid that if I fly one of these drones with an onboard camera and take video then (providing I don't fly out of sight) it's quite legal and above board. When you download someone's YouTube video then re-upload it with the intention of earning money from it -- that is a far greater crime (IMHO). That seems like a pretty fair penalty for such a crime and probably not too far out of line with what you'd be facing if you simply shop-lifted a few CDs or DVDs from The Warehouse. How much have they sued little old ladies for when they allege the download of a few contemporary pop-songs? If people think the copyright laws suck then they have every right to petition parliament to have them changed -- that's how our (pseudo)democratic system works.
