Related: About this forumNirvana again defeats child pornography lawsuit over 'Nevermind' cover

A federal judge again threw out a lawsuit by a man who accused iconic grunge rock band Nirvana of distributing child pornography by using a photograph of him as a naked, swimming baby on the cover of its breakthrough 1991 album "Nevermind."
U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin tossed out the lawsuit, opens new tab filed by plaintiff Spencer Elden for a second time after finding that no reasonable jury would consider the picture pornographic.

says it is "causing him continuing personal harm". WTH? Who would even have know it was him?
I always liked that cover for the symbolism of money being bait for the human species.

That's completely made up.
He's just on a fishing expedition and hooked some lawyer who also thought there'd be a payday.
