Legality can't be used to derive ethics. Slavery and prohibition were all legal in the past, but I don't think they're ethical. In the same way, I consider unethical removing people's freedom to work in the way they voluntarily choose. Sure, this is what we have now and not following the law, hoping to change things (aka disrupting the taxi lobbies) is a business risk , but I still hope for a society in which people are free to decide how they work. I wouldn't compare them to mobsters that use violence. Uber may not have a stellar reputation, but it's not forcing anyone to work. It's the government which actually resembles a giant mafia gang, imposing rules and asking 99% of the population for money (taxes, or just call it pizzo) on threat of imprisonment - while letting their rich friends avoid them.
