Return Charles E Butler's Dracula Tribute page to him, on Facebook.

The Issue

This is a big corporation riding roughshod over the little guy. Universal Studios took over admin of Charles E Butler's page because they have copyright of the'Dracula' name. They gave no warning of this, nor gave Mr Butler a chance to change the name, or edit his page of anything in breach of copyright. He has tried various ways of contacting them to say that he is happy to do just that. Universal Studios have given no response. He has put in hours of work with his own reviews and illustrations. The page looks at the portrayal of Dracula through the ages and has a large following. Mr Butler is not out to make millions - he simply invests his time in something he is interested and passionate about. The laughable thing is that if anything Mr Butler's work actually promotes interest in previous Universal Studio's films!
