Spencer Elden’s legal battle against Nirvana for the iconic Nevermind album cover has been reignited. The appeals court’s ruling states that each republication of the image may constitute a new personal injury, resetting the clock on limitations. Elden alleges the cover caused “lifelong damages.” Nirvana’s attorney called it a procedural setback, vowing a vigorous defense. Beyond this case, the ruling may impact similar situations involving unauthorized image distribution. Elden, who hasn’t received significant compensation, has faced challenges, with the image defining his legacy. The lawsuit’s revival raises questions about the intersection of fame, consent, and the digital age.
