The peer-2-peer mechanism is well understood now. Its economics have clearly been declared perfectly viable.

Therefore, you could have hundreds of Uber-style networks with a few cross-network search engines returning search results. That would have exactly the same effect as having just one Uber.

Transport services are important to the economy. We must always encourage swarmification of our critical infrastructure.

Furthermore, in a related case, we should be grateful that the powers that be attacked Napster and shut it down. Decentralization takes a lot of effort and is not just a natural outcome. The far-reaching decentralization of the bittorrent ecosystem only came about thanks to the continuous legal attacks that made it the only solution possible.

Therefore, I advocate sustained legal and other attacks on Uber.

We do not want a centralized system. We will need the attacks orchestrated by the state apparatus to properly shape a much more decentralized solution.
