Does all this begin with the premise that law-breaking is by necessity immoral?

  No, I don't think that all law-breaking is by necessity immoral. People who broke the law and printed illegal literature in soviet block are heroes. Or people who helped runaway slaves. Eduard Snowden broke the law and I find it perfectly fine. If you don't stop at stop sign on bicycle, I don't find it particularly immoral. However, law-breaking in order to get ahead of business competition is far away from the above categories.

    People saving me from being scammed are also heroes.

    Even if they are breaking corrupt laws passed by the lobbyists working for the incumbents? Regulatory capture is a thing that harms society and Uber has done more to undo that harm than in this industry than anyone else.

      If that would be true, they would not push for change in locations where regulations were sane. If they stood for pure market only, they would not sabotage competitors. They have their own lobbyist pushing for whatever suits them.

      He's not doing it because of that, though. He's doing it to get money. If he really felt that way, he'd be living to remove those laws.
