“I personally broke this story in 2021, but Epic would not confirm or deny the details to me back then,” Hollister reported.
“[Matthew] Weissinger [vce president of marketing] just did that today on the stand. ‘Yes, it was our idea,’ he said, confirming that Epic paid a consultant $100,000 to start the lobbying group, and that there were no other founding members.”
Epic said the “Coalition” included Spotify, Basecamp and others as “founding members” when announced in2020, Hollister noted.
“If you’re referring to the incorporation, no they were not,” said Weissinger.
