First of all, that's facts about one company. Second of all, ignoring bad laws (I'm speaking generally here, not specifically about any Uber-related cases) is a very good thing since bad laws often don't change at all without disobedience.
I'm all in favor of Buenos Aires style public transportation. We should adopt that in the U.S.
There's a world of difference between civil disobedience and corporations breaking laws and regulations for profit.
