>>If Airbnb is trying to convince landlords to look the other way, I find that disgusting.

When your area of comfort is being disrupted = Disgusting(Airbnb).

When somebody else's area of comfort is being disrupted = Innovation(Uber).

All Uber drivers in the NYC area are licensed livery drivers and Uber is no different than any other car service.

Airbnb is trying to turn buildings zoned for residential living into commercial hotels, which is illegal.

livery drivers drive for Uber != All Uber drivers are livery drivers.

Tenants who have landlord's permission to rent on Airbnb != All people who rent on Airbnb have landlord's permission.

And yes disruption is always when it happens to others, when it happens to you, it looks 'unfair'.
