An American court has rejected a lawsuit filed by Spencer Elden, whose photo of him as a child was published on the cover of the album Nevermind in 1991. He demanded that Universal Music edit the photo and plaster over his genitals.

Elden’s defense has until Jan. 13 to file a second lawsuit. If the lawyers don’t meet that deadline, however, they won’t be able to re-file after that. If they make it in time, however, Nirvana’s lawyers have until Jan. 27 to respond to the new lawsuit.

Last August, Elden sued the surviving members of Nirvana. The man, who turns 30 in 2021, explained that the cover of his photo “traumatized him for life.” He claimed that his legal guardians never signed documents authorizing the use of his images.

Nirvana’s album Nevermind was released in September 1991 and became one of the best-selling albums in history. The cover of Nevermind featured a naked toddler underwater in a pool. The boy was reaching for a dollar bill attached to a fishing hook.

Photographer Kirk Weddle called the Eldens, with whom he was on friendly terms, to participate in the shoot. They were paid $200 to take the picture.
