Nobody can fly the drone under the same persons account they stole it from, they would first have to open a new account before they could fly the drone, thus now all flights would be down to new account holder.
With regards to blocking, I suppose if someone got hold of SN’s, what’s to stop them from getting these blocked, so while it should be possible to put something in place, I don’t believe it’s as simand straight forward.
thats the only issue i can think of is having to prove rightful ownership.. but i can imagine something can be done.
maybe again similar to iOS situation where can be locked to the account and if your going to sell it you have to unlink it.. maybe simple way is in the app have a toggle like "lock my aircraft to my account" . and if you wish to relink you cant do it remotely, have to have the drone connected.. then if someone picks it up, tries to fly it it will be blocked and locked.. same with someone trying to sell it off.. have to prove its unlocked aircraft first, or for parts and worth a lot less. then when done and ready to sell it, have a simple button in the app with drone connected... "reset aircraft to factory" then it ask "reset all settings?" then after that it could ask "remove the aircraft from account?"
there will be a learning curve if they implement this idea, obviously mistakes will get made but it is part of the system.. happened with ios and android systems where initially was some problems with people selling locked items without realizing ... now it is far less likely and more uncommon it happens.. and the devices for sale that are locked, tend to be valued so low wouldn't be worth the risk of stealing.. so yes it will take time but...if dji impliments it correctly and in a smart easy way.. wont take too long..
