However:
* BURNING and REPLACING are processes performed by human
* The emphasis of the sentence is ON THE PROCESS, not on general notion of these things
回忆上次我们说到的，Ving是一个进程，指的是一个人或物实际有在做这件事，而VERBAL Nouns则没有这个过程。

The proliferation of so-called cybersquatters, people who register the Internet domain names of high-profile companies in hopes of reselling the rights to those names for a profit, led to passing the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in 1999, allowing companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling them later.
A passing the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in 1999, allowing companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling

C the passage in 1999 of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, which allows companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling

Can we use “passing”?
* PERSONALIZED? NO—the person/person who passed the law are not mentioned
* PROCESS-ORIENTED? NO—this sentence is not at all about the steps process of passing a law

When you see the SAME MODIFIER. MOVED AROUD to different placed in the sentence, ask yourself a simple question: which version places the modifier CLOSEST to the stuff that it actually describes?
