Wait, isn't this technically "criminal trespassing"?
You don't own the airspace over your property. The only way someone might get in trouble for flying a drone over your house is if they were looking in windows or harassing people somehow. Most pics from a drone aren't a lot different from satellite photography.
We actually do own the airspace over our houses. Not as high as planes or space, but a drone probably would from my skimming of this article.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have the full context of the legislation you're quoting, but my interpretation of that paragraph is that it only applies to aircrafts that are carrying passengers.
You're the one who does this for a hobby, though. I'm sure that you know the laws more than I do :)
