"Below are 4 passages that the White House has emphasized with bold text 
in the response:

     Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of 
online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by 
our dynamic businesses large and small.

     We must avoid creating new cybersecurity risks or disrupting the 
underlying architecture of the Internet.

     That is why the Administration calls on all sides to work together 
to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights 
holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. 
borders while staying true to the principles outlined above in this 
response.

     This is not just a matter for legislation. We expect and encourage 
all private parties, including both content creators and Internet 
platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and 
best practices to reduce online piracy."
