I'm flying my drone near a hotel... the manager catches a small clip on youtube and wants to buy the copyright for that whole, raw footage from me... I cannot sell my copyright (constitutional law) under FAA rules (fiat regulation)?

It seems to me this is a bit of a mixed bag here, and in which case there's a clear pattern, footage shot, non-commercial use first... meaning intent can be shown.

You can sell your copyright and be fined for unauthorized commercial flight. There's no incompatibility here.
