Nirvana made many $millions off of that album, his picture contributed to the album sales, he is entitled to his share.Just a shameless money grab and nothing else.
He should sue his parents though, they are the ones that let it happen.
And no, a naked baby isn't child porn for fucks sake. What an asshole.
Yep...a $200 share...that went to his parents.Nirvana made many $millions off of that album, his picture contributed to the album sales, he is entitled to his share.
I am betting that Nirvana will settle out of court because he has a strong case for his fair share.Yep...a $200 share...that went to his parents.
He should also sue his parents for the $200 dollars that they were paid.Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what kind of money did the guy's parents get for allowing his picture be what is used? Of course, we all know that the band having the bigger mountain of money is the reason why they are who has been hit with the lawsuit, but shouldn't the lawsuit be against his parents instead for using him to score whatever fortune it is that they were given?
God bless you always!!!

Nirvana's famous naked baby has SUED the band for child pornography after appearing on their iconic 1991 Nevermind album cover.
Spencer Eldon, now 30, said Nirvana and the estate of Kurt Cobain ‘trafficked’ his image as a naked baby and is claiming $2.5million in damages for being 'exploited as a minor'.
Nirvana sued for exploitation claims over 1991 Nevermind album cover
In court documents, Elden alleged that band members, record companies and creative personnel had 'trafficked' his image for profit, and he has 'continued to suffer lifelong damages.'www.dailymail.co.uk
He will probably win his case.
Nirvana was a ground breaking band that brought in a new wave of great rock music in the 90s.
At the time of Nevermind's release they were a relatively unknown band.
It is now an iconic album that sold about 8 million copies
However, I always wondered who approved of that album cover.
It was probably done to shock people and gain attention, but the kid was exploited.

he has a caseThey made millions off the record, not the cover. BTW, generally the rights belong to the person taking the photo, not the person in it, unless you have a contract that says otherwise.
From how it appears, the photographer, who was a friends of Elden's parents, never told them the photo would be used for an album cover...
I disagree that he is entitled to any "fair share".I am betting that Nirvana will settle out of court because he has a strong case for his fair share.

Case Example: Several years ago, American Apparel used a photo of filmmaker Woody Allen, taken from his film Annie Hall, on a promotional billboard. Allen sued, stating, “American Apparel…calculatingly took my name, my likeness, and image and used them publicly to promote their business.” The company ended up settling for a reported $5 million dollars.
