Seems the album cover was more prophetic than anticipated… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58327844
It’s likely he’ll have approached the band and the answer is why he’s resorted to going to court. $150,000 each across 9 very wealthy and successful people is chicken feed to them. Cobain estate is said to be worth $450 million, his guitar he used for the legendary MTV unplugged set sold for $6 mill. Clearly the 9 are more than willing to go to court, for me I’d settle on condition it was a one off payment, even though he’s profited from being the baby in the picture previously. (Edit) obvs if I was fabulously wealthy as the 9 are, not as my current and life long earnings have been. Other posters opinions will differ from mine.
Cheers you got me worried I was off ‘the list’ big boy. Yeah but you’re a sensible Brit not some insane American who hasn’t been able to cash enough on the notoriety and feels robbed as a result.
"Elden has recreated the album cover several times as a teenager and adult - always wearing swimming trunks - to mark Nevermind's 10th, 20th and 25th anniversaries." He can hardly claim he's been exploited?
"However, Elden's lawyer, Robert Y. Lewis, argues that the inclusion of the dollar bill (which was superimposed after the photograph was taken) makes the minor seem "like a sex worker"." you honestly couldn't make it up, "despair" is not even remotely close.
I guess if it was you or me we would want a free slice of rich tea cake, opportunities are out there all the time as we speak.
The lad wants a million quid (after sharing with the lawyers). It will certainly be a no win no pay case. Maybe he will get it, maybe not. Anyone give a bleep?
He didn;t think through the maths there did he, way too damn cheap in the great scheme of things ...start much higher and work your way down.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Perhaps he did? Maybe he really knows his case is frivolous and without merit & so is hoping that they will make him a low ball offer to fc*k off, as its less than their legal fees.
How to instantaneously migrate from the “cool dude” that was the baby on a mythic album cover status, to the ultimate douche bag who tries to make money without working… I believe prostitutes have more self respect than this type of individual.
