Edit: yeah a $1500 fine could stop it!
At this point Uber knows their breaking the law, gotta imagine they are ready/willing to pony up those $1500 driver fines while this plays out. Their past "free rides/ice cream/donut" promotions have proved their willing to spend money to get into this market.
