Baby On Nirvana Album Cover Sues Band Over Child Pornography

Spencer Elden appeared on the album cover as a four-month-old child chasing a dollar bill.
Spencer Elden, whose underwater photo as a baby featured in one of Nirvana's most popular covers for the Nevermind album, has moved court against the rock music band. In his lawsuit, 30-year-old Mr Elden claims that he was sexually exploited for commercial reasons because his genitals were visible in the photo. The famous album cover shows Mr Elden as a naked baby swimming towards a dollar bill underwater. Mr Elden was only four months old when the photo was taken. The lawsuit, which has been filed in a California district court, seeks damages of at least $150,000 from each of the 15 defendants. The defendants include surviving members of the band, Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love, managers of Kurt Cobain's estate, photographer Kirk Weddle and all the record labels that have distributed the album in the last three decades. Representatives of the defendants are yet to respond to the allegations. The lawsuit alleges that Mr Elden's parents neither got paid for the photo nor did they sign any form that allowed the band to use it. However, according to a report by The Guardian, Mr Elden's family was earlier reported to have been paid $250 for the image. Images of infants that do not have sexualised overtones are not considered child pornography as per the law in the USA. But Mr Elden's lawyer argued that the dollar bill -- which was superimposed on the photo -- made the baby look "like a sex worker", a BBC report said.
