Uber is a service; Stupid Judges!
The ruling (PDF) said that the service Uber provides "is more than an intermediation service consisting of connecting, by means of a smartphone application, a nonprofessional driver using his or her own vehicle with a person who wishes to make an urban journey" I would have said that is EXACTLY what Uber is. This ruling just goes to show that judges are incompetent to make rulings on disruptive technologies. The only life experience they had before becoming a Judge was working as a Lawyer. None of them understand real life and working to earn a living.
