I think you misunderstand me. I REALLY, TRULY can't understand your post. I have no idea what you're trying to say. It SOUNDS like you have something to say, but I can't follow AT ALL.
Something about copies of bills not being distributed? Something about copyright law and the internet?
I'm totally up for a better explanation of what you're saying - I suspect you're far more informed on these issues than I am these days.

Legislation related to the copyright into the committees of the judiciary and courts, the internet, and intellectual property.
I read this sentence a number of times, and I tried really hard to parse it. First, it has no verb at all. I tried concatenating it to the title of your post, and it still has no verb.
How did this get +4 Interesting? "Occasionally copies of bill go"? Your first sentence does not parse. The second sentence says, "Occassionally bills go to the committee, but approved bills go back to the committee for another pass". Again, this is not a logical statement. You're also talking about commerce and energy committee, where this story is about the Internet committee.
Third paragraph is talking about him leaving, and him being still there. The article is about him gaining a chairmanship of a commitee.
So, first sentence makes no sense. Second sentence also makes no sense and is off topic. Third sentence makes no sense.
In conclusion, please posts on the slashdot.org webpage and onto the internet, the universe, and the grand unification.
Submission + - Record labels appeal award of attorneys' fees
Fishing Expedition writes: To no one's surprise, the RIAA has decided to appeal a judge's decision to award attorneys' fees to defendant Debbie Foster in Capitol Records v. Foster. If the award stands, the RIAA could find itself in trouble in numerous other cases, and they know it. 'This is an important issue for the RIAA and the stakes are high. Even if the RIAA changes its legal tactics and decides not to press secondary infringement claims in future lawsuits, there are still numerous lawsuits wending their way through the courts where the record labels have used the exact same tactics seen in Capitol v. Foster. The labels recognize this, noting that "defense counsel in other cases like this across the country are already citing the Court's statement, albeit out of context, in an effort to suggest that this Court has found that contributory and vicarious infringement claims in cases like this one are not viable."'
Submission + - Sex doesn't sell

Sex won't sell ads, say British researchers who found that sexual content in a TV show prevents viewers from remembering accompanying ads.
Submission + - Ex-judge Gets 27 Months on Evidence from Hacked PC
netbsd_fan writes: A former California judge has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for possession of illegal pornography, based entirely on evidence gathered by an anonymous vigilante script kiddie in Canada. At any given time he was monitoring over 3,000 innocent people: "I would stay up late at night to see what I could drag out of their computers, which turned out to be more than I expected. I could read all of their e-mails without them knowing. As far as they were concerned, they didn't know their e-mails had even been opened. I could see who they were chatting with and read what they were saying as they typed."
