MadMitch88, rules or laws... the term doesn't matter. The FAA can fine you if you do not follow them. The FAA will make an example out of more people if the ignorance continues. Why test their patience? Just follow their guidelines/rules/laws/(whatever term makes you happy) and everyone gets to fly safely.
I'm a firm believer in following laws that make common sense. Murder and rape are truly despicable acts, and so laws that forbid them make perfect sense.
Having the old fuddy duddies at the FAA drag their feet about "drone laws" and prohibiting commercial use for the interim makes ZERO sense to me. It looks like the final proposed rules and guidelines about drones won't be delivered to Congress by 2015 as promised, so why should we fine pilots be kowtowing to an inept agency like this?
Remember, this stupid rule is keeping a lot of people from making a nice living with their UAVs. What Congressperson would advocate that?
