I think FAR 91.119(a) which I mention below applies here. The thing is, aircraft have registration requirements with the FAA so tracking down the owner/operator is straightforward. There needs to be something similar for UASs, and owner/operators will want to be really clear establishing who the operator was at a particular moment, and who has liability. That's something companies and their insurance companies will sort out over a relatively short amount of time. I'm more concerned about hobbyists than businesses at this point. Businesses have more to lose, not just lawsuits, but seriously bad imagery if someone's hurt by one of these things. (55lb doing 100mph from 500'? OK then! Look out below!)
