Not sure if exploitative is the right word, but they definitely didnt consent and i dont think the parents should have the right to consent on behalf of the child
Why? Because of being in a diaper or just they can't consent to being used in media?

*eyeroll*

Nudity doesn't automatically make something pornography and no one besides him and his parents would ever know that's him unless they told them.

If it was used without permission I guess I get it, but I don't understand how that would have been possible. It's clearly a staged professional photo. Also how did his parents never agree to the photo being used but also were promised the genetalia would be censored? Doesn't make much sense

Seems like nothing more than a pretty obvious money grab to me.

so you think showing a baby wearing a diaper is exploitive
Honestly, that's almost a red flag itself

He was probably brainwashed his entire life into thinking it was a good thing. Being told how awesome it was to be on the cover and what a privilege it was. It took until this long for him to finally break free of that conditioning and youre all vilifying him. Disgusting!

No statute of limitations on this? That was a long time ago. You'd think he'd have done this when he legally became an adult if it was so damaging.

In my state you can't sue for anything that happened to you as a minor after you turn 23. 2 year limit on any other civil matters.

Shouldn't he be suing his parents, for signing him up for that?

This feels like a cash grab, nothing more.
It is a cash grab, but why not sue both his parents and nirvana

If you look at the TMZ article, you can see that he poses underwater at 2016. Not to mention he poses again (in 2020) on fb


The case could end up getting thrown out and make him look like he's in it for the money. He clearly was in it for the fame with those pics he took as an adult underwater

But yeah, he should get something out of it. I don't think its CP nor that it was Nirvana's intent.

I wonder who scooped him up and got in his head. You know he didn't come up with it on his own when he has muddied up his case himself beforehand.

Haven't read the topic, just throwing my thoughts, sorry if I repeat anyone

I see where he's coming from. He was a baby and had no consent in being the cover of the album, not to mention basically the entire world got to see his baby penis since it was such a hit album, probably the defining album of the 90s.

But at the same time....you were a baby and it was the 90s. For some reason parents love to have naked baby photos of their kids. Not sure if it's much of a thing these days (I hope it's not because I'm not going to do it for my kids) but my parents and all my friends have them. It's weird but it's a thing. But at least that photo is of you as a baby, so no one walking the street is going to recognize you as the baby on the cover as an adult unless you, ya know, make it known to everyone.

This is a case of "I'm 30 now and not as cute as I used to be, so I need to get paid this way instead".

Read this article for a laugh. It's worth it. Dude recreated the Nevermind cover multiple times over decades. Nirvana's attorneys will eat him alive in court.

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/iconic-nirvana-nevermind-baby-cover-recreated-671495

I said to the photographer, Lets do it naked. But he thought that would be weird, so I wore my swim shorts, Spencer, who sports a Nevermind tattoo across his chest, told the New York Post. Its cool but weird to be part of something so important that I dont even remember.

yeah okay buddy

but honestly 150k probably isn't that much to dave. don't know about the other dude. i'd just pay it if i was dave and get this dude out of my life.
It's a BS cash grab though

Don't care if they could easily spare it, it's pretty daft to reward people who are effectively panhandling via the courts.

Cash grab.

No way would the label and the band have picked some random baby to put on their album cover. There would have been some sort of legally binding thing going on.

*googles* wtf. This is the band that is so famous and popular?

Why did they have to show the dangling baby penis though

This is one of those rare cases where the suier has a point. He probably feels awkward about millions seeing his baby pic. Most guys don't even like their girlfriends seeing their baby pics (if TV and movies have taught me anything)
The guy spent his adult life trying to cash in on his 15 minutes of baby fame. Shamed people dont voluntarily recreate photos multiple times over years.

At the end of the day, it's something that has impacted his entire life and was done before he was even old enough to remember, and I can totally see him trying really hard to embrace it but ultimately admitting that it does and always has bothered him.

I don't think it's as cut and dry as "oh he went along with it all these years, so he must be cool with it." He kinda didn't have a choice but to go along with it. It's a thing that exists and has his name attached whether he likes it or not. I don't blame him for having mixed feelings. I'm sure sometimes it has been cool to be the Nevermind baby. Other times not so much.
