There is a case to be made for a form of civil disobedience involving significant numbers of people breaking a law in an attempt to have it repealed. I personally break a few laws I just don't care for. Drugs laws to name one. Nobody is taking my LSD from me and I imagine there are millions like me. That said I don't agree with what Uber is doing. They are one company trying to skirt the law.

You can't invoke civil disobedience when a commerce is happening, because civil disobedience is a symbolic act, meant to draw attention. As soon as somebody is making money doing it, it's just breaking the law.
