So, as long as I have the cash, breaking the law isn't an issue for you?

That's the point of fines, you pay what is essentially a tax for your behaviour.

Morality is a whole different thing, I for one don't find it immoral for a driver to pick up passengers without stopping at the garage first.

Anyway, it's called civil disobedience. I'd have though HN would be the last place to condemn that.

Are you seriously calling an attempt of Uber to bypass French laws for financial gain "civil disobedience"?

Because that's exactly what it is?

This might be different if the law in question wasn't utterly ridiculous.
