I actually think Uber made a smart move, from its point of view. You can't expect people to support your cause until you've given them a glimpse of what life could be like with your service. If the punishment for breaking the law is a slap on the wrist, that's nothing compared to getting access to the potential market earlier:

You're all discussing it as if this is something new.

Ignoring the law in hope of capturing the market before they get banned is the very modus operandi of Uber. They do this all the time, everywhere.

Well then, I guess it's been working out for them ;)

So far..
