Is the place to test the law in the marketplace, or in court?  It&#x27;s fairly easy for startups to argue the case that &quot;the government is keeping you down&quot;, especially when their very existence depends on that argument.  But there is also generally a flip-side to the argument as well.  In Airbnb&#x27;s case, zoning laws, insurance requirements and such are all in place not to protect the interests of Marriott (at least not entirely);  they exist because populations as a whole want them to exist.
