Abstract

David Sutton was one of the founders of the WATCH project (Writers Artists & Their Copyright Holders) in 1994. In this article he outlines the historical background to why the project was needed, before telling the story of how WATCH developed. WATCH is now the principal source of information about copyright holders anywhere in the world, and it has expanded its remit to include artists as well as literary and other authors.
