From the Paper:

"Gambling on the Internet seems to be taking a life of its own. Last year, Internet Gambling alone brought in approximately $600 million. This number is expected to rise to about $955 million for 2001. By the year 2003, over $10 billion will have been gambled online. Internet gambling is a reality. An adult sits at his personal computer, accesses the Internet and engages in an on-line activity that hurts nobody. But the government disapproves of what he is doing and wants to charge him with a crime that carries a fine and a prison sentence. This is the scenario in the U.S. today."
