uber never asked the government for permission to exist, and the media has never forgiven them. two questions in descending order of importance: 1. had uber asked permission, would they today exist? 2. if such permission is expected for legal behavior, what is freedom?

It's one thing to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. There would be only incremental innovation if not. It's another thing to blindly break rules. The legal framework is also in place to protect freedom of others and not let the bullies decide what happens.
