The music industry, book publishing, and now Lexis and Westlaw?

Our technological revolution is taking down the music industry as its operated for the last 80 years or so, the book industry as its operated for the last 150 years or so, and now there are plenty of people who think that internet in general and Google Scholar in particular will take down the online legal research regime that has only existed since a couple of years before I started law school in 1981 — Stephen E.

What is the financial outlook for the LexisNexis-type and Westlaw-type firms? Short term there won’t be much change. Over time, life gets tougher. I do quite a bit of work in online information, and I am not sure these outfits can adapt to the Google’s legal push.
