A federal appeals court has overturned the dismissal of Spencer Elden’s lawsuit against Nirvana regarding the iconic “Nevermind” album cover. Elden, photographed as a baby on the album’s cover, claims the image constitutes child pornography.
Initially dismissed due to missed deadlines and statute of limitations, the case has been given new life. The court’s decision highlighted that each reissue, like the 30th-anniversary edition, could be seen as a new injury. Despite this, Nirvana’s legal team remains confident, intending to vigorously defend against what they consider a baseless lawsuit.
