I don't think that's a fair comparison. Napster and all the early music apps were basically a form of stealing. No one got money off downloads. It wasn't a sustainable model for the music industry. Uber has made the market more efficient. If anything, it's making the industry more sustainable.

So not stealing, but not straight forward competition either.
