Exactly. Uber is following the letter of the law, but the argument can be made (not unconvincingly I might add) that they really aren't following the spirit.

Note I am not criticizing Uber, as they clearly are obeying the law! But to some it looks like they are skirting it, benefiting from a loophole.

The argument can be made that the law is bullshit.

Either way uber has a serious competitive advantage over taxis.
