A man who appeared as a baby on the cover of the classic album brought an action for the band.
Nirvana won the legal system.
The federal judge has once again rejected the Gunge band Nirvana. The action concerned Nirvana in 1991 Nevermindalbum cover image. The artist Spencer Elden, who brought the action, accused the band of spreading sexual footage against children, because the album cover had a photo of her naked baby swimming.
Telling The Guardian.
US district court judge Fernando Olguin now rejected the action for the second time, citing that no jury considered the picture as pornography.
Olguin himself stated that the image cannot be considered as a pornography compared the image “to the family picture of a naked child to bathe”.
Nirvana’s lawyer Bert Deixler According to The Guardian, they are delighted that the court has rejected a “unnecessary case” and released customers “from the stamp of false accusations”.
Elden’s lawyer did not respond to The Guardian’s comment request.
The accused included alive Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, the widow of the late singer Kurt Cobain Courtney Love and the Photographer Kirk Weddle.
Now, 34-year-old Elden sued the band and its record label Universal Music Gourp for the first time in 2021.
At that time, the judge rejected the action, claiming that the claims were obsolete. 9.
