Needs expansion[edit]

This page needs to include more information on Thomas Steinbeck's ongoing legal struggles with the copyright issues surrounding his famous father's creative output, ie., his published books. These issues began right after Thomas Steinbeck's father, John Steinbeck, died in December 1968. John Steinbeck's final Will did not precisely conform with legal precedents at that time which interpreted how copyright issues worked with regards to 'blood-related' heirs. The elder Steinbeck left the copyright's to Thomas Steinbeck's step-mother. Subsequently, Steinbeck's two remaining blood heirs (presumably only one remains alive after Thomas's death) did have some legal claims to copyrights after Elaine died. Anyhow, Thomas Steinbeck was very involved with these issues from about 2002 up until his death. The latest issue, before Thomas Steinbeck died, involved Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis's desire to do a remake of the 1939 film The Grapes of Wrath. Thomas Steinbeck opposed this over copyright issues.

Anyhow, here are four relevant references that should be helpful as a starting point for any editor who wants to lend a hand with this particular expansion:
