We have a hobby flyer out my way who has a store advertising an aerial photo he has for sale. Is this commercial? Legal?

How was the photo taken? Just because its a hobby store does not mean a UAV was used to take it. Also the term legal and 333 exemption in the same sentence does not make sense. If it were illegal the FAA would have a few problems, not to mention the current lawsuit against them in which a Federal judge held it in abeyance until they review the 33k petitions on commercial use and the 336 regs. In essence the Judge told the FAA they CAN NOT come after anyone for commercial use with out a 333 until that court case is cleared. I'm sure they have a team of FAA working on reading the 33k petitions..right? As you can google search I have not seen one FAA court ruling on commercial use and the fines that follow...not one.
