FAA: Monetizing your drone videos is illegal

There is an article on [Vice](http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-faa-says-you-cant-post-drone-videos-on-youtube) that states the FAA has come out to say that you can't upload your video shot by drones to YouTube (at least with ads enabled). A hobbyist in Florida was served letters from FAA because he was uploading his videos to YouTube and making money off them. What are your thoughts on these actions, do you feel this is overreaching and bad for the hobby? Storm chasers and weather enthusiasts have been utilizing drones lately and this seems like it would have a chilling effect and discourage people from uploading their drone footage. There's a good discussion about it over on [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9191849).
