The Naked Baby on Nirvana’s Nevermind Album
Question
Nirvana released an album with a cover showing a completely naked baby. Thirty years later, the baby grew up and decided to sue the band. An American court dismissed the lawsuit because of the statute of limitations. Broadly speaking, his claim was that this was child pornography and use of intimate images without consent. (It is important to remember that this was a 4-month-old baby.) What do you think? Would you justify the lawsuit?
Answer
No. A photo of a naked baby is a fairly accepted kind of image. Maybe not terribly ethical, but certainly not grounds for a lawsuit and compensation.
