A Theme Park Used Our Name Without Asking, And We’re Taking Action | Episode 387

The story begins with a headline built to trend: a proposed billion-euro theme park called Dracula Land in Romania. Behind the splashy renderings sits a quieter, more consequential problem—one of naming, credit, and control. As we read the plan, we saw a “Family Kingdom” area described as “mythical creatures around the world,” language that mirrors a long-standing brand, catalog, and creative engine that David Solomon built and Voices for Voices now owns. That single phrase isn’t just a theme; it’s an identity, a library of original work, and a community footprint that spans years of folklore research, art, and storytelling. When a public plan surfaces using your exact brand language without a call, a contract, or context, it becomes more than a quibble over wording; it becomes a question of rights, duty of care, and respect for creators.

The legal issue is not abstract. Mythical Creatures Around the World is now a subsidiary of Voices for Voices, with copyrights and trademarks layered through years of filings and creative proofs. People often assume content on social platforms is open source, but that assumption collapses under intellectual property law. Due diligence exists so investors, architects, and publishers avoid collisions with existing marks and catalogs. That’s why attorneys run expensive searches. That’s why language is vetted line by line before a deck goes public. When a billion-euro project uses wording that tracks a protected brand, the “we didn’t know” defense rings thin, because the planning scale implies the capacity to know and the obligation to ask.

The episode also surfaces a second ripple: David’s claim that story elements from a 2013 pilot concept—Superboy recruited by General Sam Lane under the “Super Soldier” banner—now appear in a current comic arc. While DC’s canon and fair-use debates are complex, the principle remains simple: if you use someone’s distinct, identifiable creative elements, credit and acknowledgment are the minimum form of respect. Credit matters because it preserves a chain of authorship and because it sets norms for an industry where ideas are the raw material. When those norms break, smaller studios and indie creators lose leverage, and audiences lose the trust that what they support was earned, not lifted.

Underneath the legal talk is a mission. Mythical Creatures Around the World is both a creative studio and a ministry rooted in unity, using folklore and myth as bridges between cultures that often view each other with suspicion. The work gathers stories from villages, archives, and oral histories and reimagines them with care, not copy-paste shortcuts. That practice only works when attribution is clear and boundaries are respected. If a theme park wants to celebrate global myths, there’s a path: call the rights holders, structure a license, co-create authentic storytelling, and compensate the people who built it. That collaboration does more than avoid lawsuits; it builds better art.

Creators can protect themselves by documenting drafts, registering copyrights, filing trademarks, and keeping clean chains of custody for art and scripts. They should watermark work-in-progress assets, use NDAs where appropriate, and maintain a dated archive of treatments, pitch decks, and emails. They should also learn the difference between idea and expression. You can’t own a broad concept like “a world of myths,” but you can own specific titles, names, art, story beats, and formulations that are distinctive and tied to a brand. Investors and publishers, in turn, must fund proper IP clearance and reward teams for raising red flags early rather than pushing speed over care.

There’s a human side too. David’s process—acting out every character since childhood, sketching costumes, and mapping atmospheres—shows how much lived time sits inside each page. Originality is not a random spark; it’s a craft built by attention and repetition. That craft is why the community rallied around Ryan Solomon’s debut novel, The Search for Drake Colton. It’s also why fans notice when two works look “99.9 percent” alike. Audiences are not naïve. They reward honesty and collaboration, and they push back when credit disappears. If corporations want the goodwill that comes with cultural projects, they need to honor the people who do the cultural work.

This moment is a line in that sand. We’re pursuing conversations and remedies on our terms. We’ll take public steps when private channels fail, and we’ll keep building the catalog that brought people here in the first place. The goal isn’t to gatekeep myth; it’s to steward it with integrity, so families who encounter “mythical creatures around the world” meet stories curated with love and provenance, not a cut-and-paste echo. If you make something, protect it. If you fund something, verify it. And if you borrow something, credit it. That’s how creative ecosystems thrive without burning the very roots they depend on.
