Given that we learned from this that the spray can is powerful enough to push the drone away from the target it is clear that the spray can is more dangerous.
A simple litmus test concerning whether or not any such effort would actually be reasonable on intellectual property issues: If Hatch has his name on it, it stinks. The louder he is opposed to it, the better it is for the unwashed masses.
Make fair-use assumed. You have to prove it is infringing and isn't fair use, and if you lose you pay. 3 bogus take-downs and you lose your ability to issue take-downs.
While I welcome this move I anticipate it will fail. In their typical fashion I anticipate they will severely underestimate the audience resulting in the servers crashing shortly after kickoff. By time they bring enough capacity back on line late in the third quarter, potential viewers will have moved on.
The NFL will then declare: 1: The technology is not yet ready. 2: Even if the technology was ready there is no market.

"To prevent abuse and over redaction, any agency found to have redacted publicly available information will have 24 hours to release the entire document un-redacted, regardless of any security settings on the document."
The way Under Armor quickly went from a unknown little company to a massive sports brand with their name plastered all over everything has always made me have reservations about the company.....
