actually, the net is a pretty good democratizer. It has opened up opportunities for a lot of people who otherwise would not have come to public attention.
Take Glenn Greenwald, for example. I actually litigated against him, as it happens (years ago). If not for the net he might still have his small law firm, doing decently, taking on the occasional high profile case. He probably wouldn't be a best selling author; I think that happened because he gained a following as a result of his blog and then his Salon gig.
