good article, but, web dev side showing: the link underline color is bugging me as it looks like someone thought these words were misspelled. aside from that - if Uber had actually started an international taxi company they would not have been able to get away with the stuff they did for so long, and the same with AirBnB if they started an international hotel chain. It was that these things were obviously not exactly the old business forms that the laws had been written to regulate that allowed them to "break the laws", until the laws and courts updated things. So as much as I agree with the basic idea that disruption was often code for "ignoring laws", it was also slightly different than that, and you can't just rewrite the reality of those years to say that was what was being done.
