Nirvana and Universal Music have filed a response to the appeal in the ongoing legal battle over the famous artwork that appears on the album ‘Nevermind’.This litigation was instigated by Spencer Elden who, as a baby, appeared nude on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album.Despite having previously talked positively about appearing on the album artwork, in August 2021 Elden went legal, claiming that Nirvana and their label “knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange for doing so”.Various arguments were presented by the defendants countering those claims, though the key legal argument was that Elden had left it too late to sue. With the specific laws Nirvana et al are accused of violating, there is a ten year statute of limitations.That doesn’t mean that Elden would have had to sue within ten years of the photograph being taken, but – technically speaking – he should have gone legal within ten years of his eighteenth birthday.
So the deadline for filing the lawsuit was 2019.Elden’s lawyers said that that statute of limitations should be ignored because Nirvana and their label continue to distribute ‘Nevermind’ with Elden’s image on it, meaning that they continue to harm their client even today.However, last year the judge overseeing the case sided with Nirvana and ruled that the statute of limitations does apply. As a result, he dismissed the lawsuit.
Elden then filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court.It’s that appeal that Nirvana and Universal responded to last week. The new legal filing again explains how Elden previously spoke positively of the ‘Nevermind’ artwork before changing his mind and filing the lawsuit in

R Kelly was yesterday sentenced to 20 years in prison in relation to his convictions in a Chicago court last year on three charges of enticing minors to engage in criminal sexual activity and three more linked to him filming that sexual abuse of children.However, most of that sentence will happen concurrently to the 30 year jail term he is already serving after being found guilty in a New York court of setting up and running a criminal enterprise in order to access and abuse women and teenagers.Prosecutors in the Chicago case had been pushing for the new jail term to be served following the existing one, which would basically mean that the 56 year old musician would die in prison. However, judge Harry Leinenweber ruled that only one year would need to be served following the 30 year New York sentence.Among the reasons presented by prosecutors for why Kelly should serve his second jail term after the first was that the former music star has failed to show any remorse for his crimes.However, his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean – who strongly argued for concurrent jail terms – said that Kelly’s silence through most of the legal proceedings he has faced in recent years should not be viewed as a lack of remorse.According to the Associated Press, she told the court that she had advised Kelly to not speak at the latest hearing because he continues to appeal his convictions and could yet face further legal action.

Thania Garcia R. Kelly was sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sex crimes in a Chicago federal courtroom on Thursday. The 56-year-old singer, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty of six of the 13 charges brought against him, including three counts of coercing minors into sexual activity and three of producing sex tapes involving a minor. The jury found that Kelly had produced three videos of himself sexually abusing his then 14-year-old goddaughter. He was acquitted of a charge that he had attempted to block an earlier investigation into his abuse of the goddaughter, and two other counts of enticing minors to have sex.
R. Kelly has been sentenced to more prison time. On Thursday, the 56-year-old singer was sentenced to 20 years in prison, five months after he was convicted on six counts in a Chicago federal court.Prosecutors had requested a 25-year sentence for Kelly, while the disgraced singer's defense team asked for a 10-year sentence for their client.Thursday's sentencing follows Kelly's September conviction on three child pornography counts and three counts of enticing minors for sex.That conviction came one year after Kelly, who has long maintained his innocence, was found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking by a federal jury in Brooklyn, New York. In June 2022, Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison, as well as five years of supervised release and a $100,000 fine. The singer was ordered to serve one year of his most recent prison sentence after finishing his 30-year sentence.
