> How do I know where to draw the line? Considering legality is a good start. Sweetch and Money Parking induce their users to violate San Francisco's Police Code, which forbids the buying and selling of public on-street parking. The city says it will pursue Sweetch and Money Parking under California's Unfair Competition Law for facilitating these violations. In the case of ReservationHop, I'm not an attorney but I'd venture a guess that there are a number of potential causes of action that a restaurant might be able to claim, including violations of unfair competition law. Now, a lot of folks will complain that many of these laws and regulations are counterproductive and stifle innovation. They may be right, but a point that is often overlooked in discussions about startups that are intentionally violating the law is that you can be against foolish laws and regulations without being for the willful violation of them.
