I hope this is just a lip service to quieten the MPAA/RIAA lobbyists. At least to a larger degree it is. Perhaps some changes will be made to the legislation, but nothing as far reaching as "criminalizing p2p development" (whatever it is).

This is more than lip service, Obama filled the DOJ with former RIAA lawyers. And Biden's always been pro-RIAA. It may be cynicism, but Biden's statement is really not surprising.
