Nirvana Must Face Child Porn Lawsuit Over Naked Baby On ‘Nevermind’ Album Cover, Appeals Court Rules
Billboard ^
Posted on 12/22/2023 10:11:30 AM PST by Tench_Coxe
A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled against Nirvana and revived a child pornography lawsuit filed by the man who appeared as a nude baby on the cover of the band’s 1991 album Nevermind.
Spencer Elden, now in his 30s, claimed the photo – one of the most iconic album covers in rock history – violated federal child pornography laws by displaying a sexualized image of a minor. But a lower ruled last year that he had waited far too long to bring his lawsuit.
In a decision overturning that ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that each new republication of the image – including a highly-publicized 30th anniversary re-release in 2021 – could constitute a new “injury” to Elden that would reset the statute of limitations.

People can have different opinions on if it’s “porn” or not. But,at the very least,it’s in really bad taste.
To: Robert DeLong
What I've always found funny about that Blind faith cover is that people call it a silver painted airplane model.
Nope. It's a hood ornament from a 50's car. Specifically, a 1956 chevy bel aire.

I still cringe when I think of the original album cover for Blind Faith.
Thankfully, they changed it for later editions.

AchmedAnderson Cooper and Biden had a funny discussion about this:
Biden: “That little baby’s Taliban hanging down.”
Achmed: Tallywacker.
Biden: “That’s what I said.”
Achmed: Never mind.

Well I guess this should be banned also, a "Leave it to Beaver" episode.
Beaver needs a baby picture for a class project. June comes up with one where he doesn't have any clothes on and mails it to Miss Landers without showing it to him first.

That's him, right? I vaguely remember some stuff in the press where he recreated the album cover.
How the hell could he claim damages?

That poster of Biden is simply unbelievable…he has swim trunks on, so nobody would believe it.

When are they going to sue Michaelangelo. He forgot to put the fig leaf over the David statue in Florence.

It’s not child porn, but the inside of the album Toulouse Street (Doobie Brothers) is very risque.

Well if any of David’s descendants are around, they can sue for being traumatized.

From the article (Eldon):
"He says: “I said to the photographer, ‘Let’s do it naked.’ But he thought that would be weird, so I wore my swim shorts."

I agree. This is pretty dumb. A photo of a naked baby is an innocent thing.
Anybody who reads anything else into it are the real perverts.
