That is interesting. What if the person shooting the video and operating the drone isn't the one monetizing it? What if he uploads the video to a site that won't pay him and the video is stolen and put on a site that pays the person who stole it?

Is the flight of the drone illegal then? Ridiculous logic.

We can use them to kill innocent children who happen to be at a party where some scumbag is hanging out, but don't film your birthday party and upload it to youtube! Don't try to sell your house with a video featuring using a drone to show the roof is in good condition! Oh no! This is the end!

It's not interesting. If the person flying the thing makes money - or intends to -, it's commercial, if not, it isn't. Profit by unrelated third-parties is, unsurprisingly, unrelated.
