Well you guys talk about things becoming stagnated. If someone else owns Dracula, you get to come up with your own idea instead. Improvement, variety, innovation and all that.

Also nobody owns vampires...just that name. Why does the vampire have to BE Dracula?


Dracula is just one more thing to add to the story.
Innovation isn't stagnated by having MORE options, but less.

And maybe the public likes reading Dracula more than your new character because Dracula is a ubiquitous idea.

But the creator is dead for like 150 years. Who should profit from dracula now?
