They bought a product illegally, if any judge or lawyer actually entertains the idea of suing for compensation I would be shocked. I am trying and cannot find any parallels to any other sector of business or even illegal activity, that is how f'ed up the taxi and city relationship is.

closest I can think of would be someone suing the federal government for all the money they put into making a successful hydroponic grow-op, then the government legalises it making their investment worthless. That is the same level of ludacris as the cabbies suing for inflated black market plates.
