From the Paper:

"The popularity of the Internet is based on a simple, yet very powerful, principle: it is a very fast and very inexpensive, yet strong, communication and information retrieval system. The fact that lawyers depend mainly upon their time and expertise to earn a living makes the Internet a very appealing economic incentive for lawyers."
