As a baby, Spencer Elden appeared on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind: floating in a pool, completely naked, grasping for a dollar on a fishhook. It’s one of the most iconic album covers ever, and Elden dined out off it for years. But in 2021, Elden sued Nirvana, claiming the image was child pornography. The case was dismissed in January 2022, then dismissed again in September 2022. An appeals court revived the suit in December 2023, and now the legal system has once again come to the same conclusion.
