"Are you saying that this blocking is illegal?" Possibly. Probably, though IANAL.
"Unconstitutional?" Most definitely, though, again, IANAL.
"Why does over-filtering mean it's a "serious problem"?" It is a serious problem because it is probably illegal, and definitely unconstitutional. I realize you're kind of slow, but, DUH.

What the lawyer points out (correctly) is that the costs involved in filing and fighting these lawsuits to their conclusion is high, too high in fact. It's high enough that even if you win, you are unlikely to be able to collect the judgement. Consider the money spent to chase Jammie Thomas, and consider even the lowest settlement doesn't pay the legal fees, and is still non-collectable.
To a reasonable person, this argument would point to a problem with the original laws, no?
Abolish copyright in its current form, and these 'problems' go away.
