> they seem to have learned "Hey, we can get away with crimes!" I'm not sure if it's really that. It seems that they're closer to having a scorched-earth policy where they intentionally break the rules. If the regulators step in and put some legislation that blocks Uber from operating, it also blocks their competitors from operating as well. If not, then they win by having their way and having a first mover advantage. Either way, they win or their competitors lose. That strategy seems to have worked very well for them in the US, but not as much in other markets.
