Maybe the problem could be solved at the software level, rather than through operator training. Drones would have the different rules governing airspace built into them, and would either override illegal operator commands, or at least warn the operator that he is doing something illegal, and log the incident. This would make them considerably more expensive, but it would solve the whole issue of regulation.

DRM for drones...

Not going to happen. There's nothing special at all about the hardware to fly one so if anyone can make their own there's no point even trying to put DRM on it.

This is the same as trying to ban certain 3d printer files the gov. doesn't like.
