When local laws are outdated, then it is time to have a discussion in the political arena about those laws.<p>Uber isn&#x27;t doing anything like civil disobedience here, they&#x27;re just making a new quick buck violating employment laws.<p>Aaand, in cases like this, it&#x27;s always useful to ask:  the laws we&#x27;re breaking, who are they intended to benefit or protect?  People without a lot of economic or political power to begin with?  Yeah, maybe we should leave those laws alone--by definition, the people we&#x27;re hurting are the ones least able to do anything about it anyway.
