And every music store that sold the album will be on the hook for selling child porn.I'm just a country chicken lawyer, but pretty sure if he wins, most of America can be arrested for viewing child porn.
Not to mention Amazon, distributing digitally!And every music store that sold the album will be on the hook for selling child porn.
I don't know, wouldn't that set precedent? We want to discourage frivolous lawsuits like this, not encourage it with a pay day. Is there any truth to his claim that his parents never consented to having the image used on the album cover?However, I will say this. The lawsuit is total crap but maybe they should pay him something anyway. He has a point that he was never consulted and never saw a dime even though the album sold bazillions of copies and made the band a massive amount of money. He probably sees the bogus lawsuit as a way to rectify that. Pay him $50K and be done with it?

This is how they will bring down Amazon. Quick, start dumping all your AMZN stocks!Not to mention Amazon, distributing digitally!
He was a baby...he couldn't have given consent even if had understood the question...did his parents give consent? Did they get some ki d of compensation?
The filing claims Elden and his parents did not sign a release allowing the images to be used.

He did say in one article that he is an artist. Perhaps the lawsuit is performative art.It is ironic, or perhaps, rather unironic, that the entire point of an album cover showing a baby swimming for a dollar bill on a fish hook is that we're a greedy, materialistic society and are indoctrinated early as to the importance and desirability of money.
And now the baby is all grown up, and damn it, he want his cut!

Elden’s lawyer said that there were at least 40 or 50 photos taken at the time
Getting lot's of coverage out here along the Salish sea.
Oh I'm sure. I thought about looking around at the Aberdeen area when I retired. It just seemed easier to stay where I'm at. If I did, it would be on any high ground around there. Tsunamis scare me.I live about 25 miles from Cobain's childhood home...recently named a "historical site." Lots of buzz about it here too.

Saw a projection/study. The very end of the Hood Canal (Belfair) is actually at risk.
Been out there a few times. Mostly go further north and stay in Moclips or the casino if I go to the ocean.I'm on the little sand spit known as Ocean Shores...My back yard backs up to a couple hundred yards of wetlands...then Grays Harbor.(the bay) we'd get hit from BOTH directions in a tsunami.
