Part 5/10:
What makes this case particularly complex is the argument that Eldon, being only four months old at the time, could not have given consent, thus rendering the use of his image potentially illegal under current child protection laws. He is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages from Nirvana's estate and band members.
The Reaction: Public Opinion and Cultural Impact
The case has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with many questioning the legitimacy and timing of Eldon's claims. Critics note that Eldon has embraced the notoriety over the years, recreating the album cover repeatedly and even tattooing "Nevermind" across his chest. This behavior has led some to view the lawsuit as a form of opportunism.
