This new legal interpretation was sent out about compensation flight flights and what requires a commercial certificate.

Actually this interpretation does not address what requires a commercial certificate. The interpretation, which is nothing new, says you may not give an instructional flight, unless it is to comply with a regulatory purpose, or a sight seeing ride with only a commercial pilot certificate without a letter of authorization from the FAA under 91.147. The flights may occur if the pilot is a CFI and the flight is for flight instruction. The issue is drug testing.

What the interpretation does do is rein in discovery flights as commercial flights operating under 91.147 as opposed to instructional flights. Most have treated those as flight instruction.
