Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:He’s hoping he gets a pity settlement for this meritless lawsuit.
Hopefully that $1.00 he has been swimming for over the past 30 years! He's earned it by now.

Hell, I would sue my parents if my images were smeared all over Facebook. After all, I'm in the witness relocation program!

"Nirvana filed to dismiss last month, saying Elden's arguments lacked merit.
"Elden's claim that the photograph on the Nevermind album cover is 'child pornography' is, on its face, not serious," their lawyers said, noting that anyone who owned a copy of the record would "on Elden's theory [be] guilty of felony possession of child pornography".
They continued by noting that, until recently, Elden had seemed to enjoy the notoriety of being the "Nirvana baby".
"He has re-enacted the photograph in exchange for a fee, many times; he has had the album title... tattooed across his chest; he has appeared on a talk show wearing a self-parodying, nude-colored onesie; he has autographed copies of the album cover for sale on eBay; and he has used the connection to try to pick up women."
