Today the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a decision supporting EPIC’s claim that it was a representative of the news media, and therefore entitled to “preferred fee status under FOI” as it related to obtaining substantial numbers of documents concerning the activities of the Total Information Awareness program (TIA).
See my related posting on EPIC’s use of FOI to obtain TIA documents here. Also see EPIC’s Total Information Awareness Page for documentation on the non-profit’s lobbying efforts against TIA, as well related news links.
