“You’ll hook up with a hot chick, and then they figure out you’re not making any money from it and they’ll dump you,” he went on."

Awww, TFB. Hey Moron, how about refraining from trying to impress shallow bimbos about the issue?
THIS, I guarantee if this milker wasn't telling people he is on the album no one would fucking know or make assumptions about his compensation or lack thereof. He is literally clinging to the only thing he will EVER be famous for. And he can't even do that well.
 
The only people he should be able to sue here are his parents, specifically the dad. They had legal guardianship over him and choose to have the photo taken and sold it. The said art (child porn is usually something considered lewd and lascivious, etc.) was legally purchased by the band and used. Nirvana and their people had nothing personal against this guy.
 

Nirvana’s lawyers say ‘Nevermind’ lawsuit is just ‘absurd’ cash grab​

The child pornography lawsuit filed by the grown-up naked baby featured on the cover of Nirvana’s album “Nevermind” smells like an “absurd” cash grab, lawyers for the band say.

A motion to dismiss the litigation was filed on behalf of Kurt Cobain’s estate and the surviving members of Nirvana in a California federal court Wednesday.

Spencer Elden, 30, accused the Seattle grunge outfit of telling him to “Come As You Are” without consent over the summer, after being photographed swimming naked in a pool as an infant for the iconic cover of the 1991 triple-diamond selling album.

Elden alleged he was sexually exploited, suffered “lifelong damage” and was forced to engage in “commercial sex acts” by the band, who he said marketed the image as “child pornography.”
 

Nirvana WINS 'naked baby' legal battle as judge dismisses the child porn lawsuit brought by 30-year-old man who appeared on iconic 1991 Nevermind cover​

Judge Fernando Olguin dismissed the case in California District Court on Monday after lawyers for Spencer Elden missed the deadline to file an opposition to the Nirvana estate's request to dismiss last month.
 

Nude baby on Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album refiles dismissed lawsuit​

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man who as a 4-month-old appeared nude on the 1991 cover of Nirvana's album “Nevermind” on Thursday filed a new version of his lawsuit alleging the image is child pornography.

Federal Judge Fernando M. Olguin had dismissed Spencer Elden's lawsuit on Jan. 4 after a missed deadline, but gave him permission to file an amended version.

The new complaint includes a declaration from the album's graphic designer that Elden's lawyers argue demonstrates that the band and Geffen Records deliberately sought to display the baby Elden's penis and exploit the image for commercial gain.
 
How many other child victims of sexual exploitation do you see out there publicly reenacting what was done do them? How many of them have a tattoo of the abusers on them?

Most of us from this era have at least one picture were we're naked either playing at a beach or in the bath. That dreaded picture that your mom hauls out to show your spouse...

Him and his lawyer should be ashamed for making a mockery of what is a very real issue. The picture isnt what turned him into a basement dweller.
 

Nirvana Wins ‘Nevermind’ Baby Lawsuit as Judge Dismisses Case for Final Time​


Nirvana has won the lawsuit the band faced over their Nevermind cover art after a judge dismissed the case — filed by Spencer Elden, the baby seen in the iconic photograph — for the final time, effectively ending the “child pornography” suit.

In an eight-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin wrote that the lawsuit would grant the defendants’ motion for dismissal again on the grounds that Elden waited too long to file the lawsuit, based on a 10-year statute of limitations.

“In short, because it is undisputed that [Elden] did not file his complaint within ten years after he discovered a violation… the court concludes that his claim is untimely,” Olguin wrote.

The judge continued, “Because plaintiff had an opportunity to address the deficiencies in his complaint regarding the statute of limitations, the court is persuaded that it would be futile to afford plaintiff a fourth opportunity to file an amended complaint.”

“We are pleased that this meritless case has been brought to a speedy final conclusion,” Bert Deixler, a lawyer for Nirvana, told Reuters.
 
Yup and still trying to appeal. Sue your fucking parents' douche!

Nirvana ‘Nevermind’ album cover baby appeals judge’s child porn dismissal​

Smells like more court dates.

The 31-year-old who appeared nude as an infant on Nirvana’s iconic 1991 “Nevermind” album cover is continuing to pursue his lawsuit claiming the image is nothing but child pornography.

Spencer Elden is filing an appeal after a federal judge threw out his case Friday, on the grounds he waited too long to take legal action under Marsha’s Law.

The 2005 legislation gives child pornography victims the right to sue those who produce, distribute or possess the material, but the statute of limitations expires after the victim turns 28.

Elder was 30 when he filed the suit in 2021.
 
I think he should have to pay, but I doubt he has that kind of money. Maybe the only reason there was an appeal is because his lawyers would like to get paid. As you can probably tell, I'm a stranger to lawsuits of all kinds. Not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, lol.
 

Federal court revives lawsuit against Nirvana over 1991 ‘Nevermind’ naked baby album cover​

A federal appeals court on Thursday revived a child sexual exploitation lawsuit filed by the man who appeared naked as a 4-month-old on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album “Nevermind.”

Spencer Elden’s lawsuit against the grunge rock group alleges that he has suffered “permanent harm” as the band and others profited from the image of him underwater in a swimming pool, appearing to grab for a dollar bill on a fish hook.

A federal judge in California threw out the lawsuit last year but allowed Elden to file a revised version, which the judge later dismissed on grounds that it was outside the 10-year statute of limitations of one of the laws used as a cause of action.

Thursday’s decision by a three-judge panel of the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in California reversed that ruling and sent the case back to the lower court.
