"He has been fully aware of the facts of both the supposed 'violation' and 'injury' for decades."Īdditionally, the estate asserts that Elden's lawsuit, if successful, would then criminally implicate every owner of Nevermind. "Elden's claim that the photograph on the Nevermind album cover is 'child pornography' is, on its face, not serious," the band wrote. "A brief examination of the photograph, or Elden's own conduct (not to mention the photograph's presence in the homes of millions of Americans who, on Elden’s theory, are guilty of felony possession of child pornography), makes that clear. "Long before 2011, as Elden has pled, Elden knew about the photograph, and knew that he (and not someone else) was the baby in the photograph," the statement said. The suit is valid only 10 years from the point that a victim "reasonably discovers" it, and the estate claims that Elden was familiar with the photograph's notoriety before 2011, when Elden was 20 years old. The music inside wasn’t too bad either to date it has sold over 30 million copies.In a statement last month, the Nirvana estate maintained that not only has Elden profited from his role in the album's cover art but that the statute of limitations for a federal child-pornography lawsuit has almost certainly already expired. The result was one of the most iconic album covers in the last 25 years. The dollar bill and the fishhook were stripped in in post. As expected, the baby started to cry, this had been the babies first time underwater, and we wrapped the shoot. I took seven frames on the first pass and four frames on the second. Once I felt I had the framing, light, and exposure dialed in the parents slipped the child into the water. Since kids are always an unknown at shoots, I did several prelight and prefocus passes with a doll. I placed a camera with a motor drive, in an underwater housing, mounted on a tripod at the bottom of a pool. “A 4-month-old baby was cast and I conducted the shoot with just his parents and a lifeguard present. “The concept was to create a visual statement by capturing an image of a baby going after a dollar bill on a fishhook underwater.” “A large record label needed an arresting album cover for one of their newly signed up and coming bands,” writs Kirk Weddle.
