Uber as a company has really seen a variety of semantics challenges to laws in various jurisdictions that really show how much many legal frameworks can be issues of semantics until the courts settle the semantic debates.
There is little doubt in my mind that a different court, and most of all a court whose members have different political leanings, would have settled the semantics debate differently given the exact same letter of the law.
