From the Paper:

"The Internet has transformed communication. It is the new media of the twentieth century and beyond. We now live in a time where information is only a mouse-click away for a large portion of the country and the world. Information is free and accessible from the home, and within the past couple of years, Internet service to the home has become available free of charge through certain providers that subsidize their service through advertisements. With all of these advantages, there definitely is a flip side of the coin as well; the task of keeping indecent material from minors, punishing those guilty of libel and protecting copyrighted materials, etc."
