In addition to misquoting your earlier linked article, you're assuming the FAA has the time, energy, resources, and desire to prosecute a case with scant evidence involving an uninvited drone flying over private property for profit. They have enough to do keeping airline passengers and private (manned) aircraft safe. I don't think they're likely to spend a lot of effort trying to get your drone back or punishing me if all you have is (maybe) some video evidence that your drone had an unfortunate midair collision.
