Glenn, they get around the part 333 Exemption since the "flying" isn't commercial, rather being done by a hobbyist who is renting the drone. I see the insurance industry getting involved with this soonest.
There are a lot of Commerce regulations governing drone rental and sales internationally. Do some ITAR homework and you'll find it gets pretty daunting for the average person. Best to contract the services in the country you are visiting, at least for now.
Also, every country has their own drone regulations, some open, others very constricted in terms of commercial operators. The penalties are severe.
If you are just getting into the commercial drone world, your are late to the party. I do this for a living, speak at a lot of conferences and trust me, the opportunities are being vetted everyday and exploited by very creative people.
I also sit on a lot of boards and work with the FAA is helping scope the next round(s) of legislation.
The drone industry used to be, to quote P.J., "teenage boys with whiskey and car keys". Not anymore.
There are still a lot of opportunities but you really have to understand the rules, the markets and the people in those markets.
