No, they were fined because they decided to enter a tightly regulated market without gaining the necessary permits and permission, and following the requisite rules.

Not saying it's right that the industry is regulated, and it's certainly not right that the French Taxi drivers resorted to violence, but if you want to operate in a country, you have to abide by their rules, it's called the cost of doing business.

Now, there's nothing to stop them lobbying for change of course.
