Heh, more of this shit.
Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn't destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.
DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.
COPY ALL THE THINGS.
Hey this is a pretty interesting story, got a link?

What an interesting read!
Thank you so much. Interesting to hear about Stoker's widow, and her going to the courts to pursue a copyright claim.
It's a fascinating story. I often wonder how it would of been perceived at a time when copyright wasn't in a post Disney world.
