DPPA has no exception for journalists

is a very interesting way to interpret

In the analogous area of birth and death records, “reporters when investigating stories have a ‘legitimate research purpose’ … and are therefore to be allowed access to the vital records.” Campbell & Assoc. v. Sharma, No. 884-0076, at 22 St. Louis Cir. Ct. (Jan. 25, 1989).

Seems like I'm not the one who doesn't read my links

Wtf are you talking about? This case doesn't involve vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates).

Here's the statute buddy: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2721

Sections (b)(1)-(14) list the only rights of access.

What does a Missouri circuit court holding about vital records in 1989 have to do with anything? The case at issue was in Kansas, doesn't involve vital records (which are already open under FOIA).

You're obviously a poser.
