Epic

Epic may refer to any of the following:

1. Short for Electronic Privacy Information Center, EPIC was established in 1994 by David Banisar, Marc Rotenberg, and David Sobel as a public interest group. Centered in Washington, D.C., it draws attention to the emerging civil liberties issues and privacy protection, the First Amendment, and constitutional values in the information age. EPIC works on all this by utilizing privacy research, public education, litigation, and publications. The group has often been criticized for taking an extreme position on privacy matters.

EPIC's website is located at epic.org. It makes available publications such as "Privacy and Human Rights," "Litigation Under the Federal Open Government Laws," "The Privacy Law Sourcebook," and "The Consumer Law Sourcebook." The group, a non-profit public charity, receives funding from these publication sales, donations, and grants.

2. An epic item in a game is an extremely rare item. For example, a one in a million chance of getting the item. See our item page for further information and other examples.

3. Epic describes something extraordinary or out of the norm. For example, in gaming, someone may describe a post made by another person as an "epic fail," which is another way of saying it's terrible.

4. Epic is a short name for the Epic Games company.
