It is very interested how Uber is seen as extremely evil and the government chaps & taxi drivers are the good.
I'd say that what they are doing is "Rent Seeking"[1], which has extremely detrimental effects on the economy and that if some of the conversations between them were made public, they would end up in an even bigger mess.
My impressions come from the halting of the Uber service in Sofia, where the link between local authorities ans taxi companies was even more obvious than in Paris, Berlin and other cases.
What are your thoughs on that? It seems to me that Uber is in a lesser moral violation and hence the lesser evil.
Are there any mainstream medias which represent neo-libertarian or whatever it is called views and or at least try to be objective?

P.S. Isn't this nearly morally/legally equivalent to using those speed gun detectors or police camera location applications?
