Even if you're not a celebrity dodging the paparazzi or a backcountry survivalist, you may not want someone with a quadcopter checking out what you're doing in your back yard. A new company called NoFlyZone.org has come up with a way for homeowners a way to establish a "no-fly zone" over property, "preserving and protecting residents' privacy from drones," according to a company news release. The company provides a comprehensive global database of no-drone areas, supported by drone manufacturers and operators who have joined the NoFlyZone community.
NoFlyZone will soon offer people the ability to set customized airspace access preferences. For example, individuals will be able to clarify that they may not want camera drones over their property, but they do want to receive packages delivered by drone. Some of these advanced features will be premium services, but those who register in February will receive a limited time offer of two years of all NoFlyZone services free of charge.

Press Release – DOT and FAA Propose New Rules for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems
WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration today proposed a framework of regulations that would allow routine use of certain small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in today’s aviation system, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate future technological innovations.
The FAA proposal offers safety rules for small UAS (under 55 pounds) conducting non-recreational operations. The rule would limit flights to daylight and visual-line-of-sight operations. It also addresses height restrictions, operator certification, optional use of a visual observer, aircraft registration and marking, and operational limits.

NoFlyZone aims to keep the airspace over your home drone-free | Naked Security
Just what, exactly, is a privacy-conscious person to do about unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) beating their nosy little rotors over an individual's private airspace?
And there’s always shooting them down, which gives you the satisfaction of potentially jumping up and down on them and cursing melodramatically.
But both of these could mean the drones fall and hurt somebody. On top of all that, it's probably illegal. So don't do it.
Do not despair, and do not begin training your attack falcon. There's still one more hope for the drone-phobic.
It's called the NoFlyZone: a service that lets users input their addresses with the aim of keeping the airspace above their homes drone-free.
