I think there's going to be more changes in the laws.
For sure the laws are going to be adapted, but I don't think its about more "rights" to the space, any more than if someone decides to sit down in your front lawn and not move, they have more "rights" than you. But you really don't have the right to act violently to resolve the situation; you have to get the police to handle it rather than take the law into your own hands. Or if someone parks their car in your driveway, you can't smash their car up, you have to get it legally moved or have the police deal with it, but in the meantime, your driveway is blocked. This is the price of a civilized, law-abiding society. It is doubtful even with changes to the law that property owners will ever have the right to destroy drones for simply hovering over their property.
