This is not really as bad as he makes it appear.
The important line here is:
3 This (1000foot) excemption is granted subject to the conditions at paragraphs 4 to 7 below.
That means that quadcopters and dji drones are still limited to 400foot, so no changes for us.
These new rules only apply to flying between 400 and 1000 foot.

It's not just quadcopters, literally everything is becoming regulated to the point every little mistake or mishap can be scrutinized and criminalized.
When going out to fly you could; put on a wig and makeup, wear a dress and tell the police your doing it to attract little kids attention. Then it will be okay.
