Its true. I'm sure I'm breaking laws everyday. Your problem is that you assume that laws imply some sort of ethics we've all agreed to. But unless your a mindless zombie, you'd realize that quite a few laws don't make sense.
And in business, you don't get very far if you're not some laws. Rest assured that every single successful business has broken laws and is likely continuing to do so.
And I agree that the one informal comment made by one of the execs was stupid. But frankly there IS a war being waged against Uber by its competitor through the media.
