In the early 2000s, as internet access was burgeoning in countries such as UK and USA, intellectual property started getting systematically treated as a national security threat to the United States. The scope of the threat is broadly conceived to include hacking, trade secret theft, file sharing, and even foreign students enrolling in American universities.[1]
