"He held firm that the internet defences could be ramped up without sacrificing privacy or civil liberties."
However, he seems to be a staunch pro-IP advocate with this statement: "Look at all the intellectual property we've lost over the past decade,"
He should be asked how does one prevent an idea from being easily copied. Because, that's the fundamental problem behind criminalising altruistic IP infringements.
Personally; my hunch is that congress has no idea how to tackle widespread piracy, even NSA doesn't. There's also many 'cyber' companies that are complaining about security issues (Decentralised/Centralised attackers such as Anon/Wikileaks). So, NSA is requested to get into those. One step is a careful PR spokesperson to recruit (Notably, the clothes and charm). Also, to instil uncertainty and doubt among hackers.
If you watch some of his earlier speeches it is pretty clear that "intellectual property loss" is code for "chinese industrial espionage". This guy doesn't care about your game of thrones torrents.
