Should he get paid?


30 y/o Spencer Eldon, who was the naked baby in Nirvana's infamous naked baby album cover is now SUING the band for 2.5 MILLION in damages for CHILD EXPLOITATION!!

Spencer says Nirvana and the estate of Kirk Cobain "trafficked" his image as a naked baby and exploited him as a minor and said his parents never gave their release in writing for the photos and were not paid

This despite in 2008 that photogrpaher Kirk Weddle paid his father, Rich $200 for 15 seconds of work to appear in a snap

The Los Angeles native said his identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor which has been distributed and sold worldwide and said the band members, record companies and creative personallel had "trafficked" his image for profit

In law, non-sexualized naked pics of infants are NOT considered child pornography

He's asking for $150,000 smackers from 17 defendants named in the suit including Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic and Courntey Love as well as photographer Kirk Weddle, art director Robert Fisher and a number of record companies

He said they failed to steps to protect him and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking

The image was a commentary on capitalism with the addition of a dollar bill at the end of a fishing hook that focuses on the baby's attention....

According to the suit, the band promised that a sticker would be placed on the area of the baby's genitals but it wasn't placed there

Since then he has repeatedly recreated the infamous image as a teen to an adult in the anniversaries but had mixed feelings about it

His father, Rick was friends with the photographer and that he wasn't lead on that that image would be on an album cover despite being paid the $200 for it.

They didn't know it was on the cover until 2 months later when Universal Music sent Spencer a platinum album and a teddy bear for their THANKS.

Spencer said in 2016 that it was HARD to NOT get UPSET when he hears about how much money was involved when the album sold 30 million worldwide and nominated for a grammy for best alternative music performance

Spencer is a fine art student at the Art Centre College of design as it's not known what he does for work now but told CNN that they went to a local pool and threw him in the water and that was it for the photo taking

Should he win his lawsuit?

-often recreated the photo
-has "nevermind" tattooed on his chest
-image is not sexual in nature

I have a hard time seeing his grounds here unless there is a contract somewhere with the "artwork will feature a sticker" clause in it.

this is a pretty straightforward publicity stunt/cash grab

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I'm more concerned about the fact that they just threw a baby in a pool

half the board has duckbear/full throttle blocked.

normally, i'd go "anagram'd" but in this case, making a second topic actually makes sense!
