Berman Retreats, But Only To Regroup

Posted by timothy on from the if-not-for-you-pesky-kids dept.

thefinite writes "It looks like the P2P vigilante bill sponsored by Berman is going to have to be rewritten even just to be considered. A ZDNet story talks about the likelihood that the bill will get anywhere as currently written. Hopefully, the second time around will make it clear that the idea is flawed, not just the text."

    Really, then what happend to the Bono bill. Did it go back and forth a bunch of times? And then was passed after he nosedived into a tree whilst skiing. (Sympathy vote?)

    There are only three books in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy!
    To whit:
    1. "The Fellowship of the Ring"
    2. "The Two Towers"
    3. "The Return of the King"



    (Don't you hate it when some anal-retentive geek totally ruins a joke by interperting it literally?)

      Actually, each book of the trilogy consists of two books. Usually numbered 1-6, these books actually have names:
      1. The Ring Sets Out
      2. The Ring Goes South
      3. The Treason of Isengard
      4. The Ring Goes East
      5. The War of the Ring
      6. The End of the Third Age
      These are the titles of the books in the 7-book Millenium set (the 7th book contains the appendices and index)
