    Wink Nirvana wins lawsuit over 1991 album cover.

    Nirvana wins lawsuit over 1991 album cover.

    ezgif-2-dd319d0dd1.jpg

    A US judge has dismissed a man's latest lawsuit against Nirvana over the band's iconic 1991 album cover which showed him naked as a baby. Spencer Elden, 31, said his appearance on the front of the Nevermind record constituted child sexual abuse. But the judge said he had left it too late to claim he had been exploited. Mr Elden's legal avenues are now all but exhausted as he cannot re-file the case, but his legal team told US media he would appeal against the ruling.


    The lawsuit focused on a photograph of Mr Elden, which depicted him swimming naked in a pool towards a dollar bill pierced with a fish hook. He argued that he had been unable to consent to the picture being used. He was seeking $150,000 (£130,000) in damages.

    He was just trolling for money and it was obvious the so called victim was milking this very minor claim to fame years prior to this lawsuit.

    He wasn't able to give consent, obviously, but someone did, his parent, guardian, wouldn't that negate any lawsuit?

    Did someone get paid for that picture? If the person who owned that picture, sold it, wouldn't that also negate any lawsuit?

    I don't see what the big deal is, anyway, I'm sure no one knew that naked baby was he, until he made it public.

    The guy claims that the album cover is child porn. If that was the case wouldn't that make everyone who purchased that album guilty of possessing child porn?
