Spencer Elden, who appeared as a baby on Nirvana's iconic "Nevermind" album cover, has filed an amended child pornography lawsuit against the band and associated parties, including Universal Music Group, Geffen Records, and Courtney Love.

The amended complaint focuses heavily on Kurt Cobain's alleged role in selecting the controversial image, citing entries from Cobain's published journals that suggest disturbing thoughts and imagery. The lawsuit claims these journal entries demonstrate Cobain's "twisted vision" for the album cover, which has appeared on over 30 million copies sold worldwide.

Key points of the amended lawsuit:

• Demands "disgorgement of all profits" from alleged "unlawful conduct"
• Claims discussions occurred regarding the "image's appeal to pedophiles"
• References abandoned plans to censor the album cover with a sticker
• Emphasizes Cobain's direct involvement in choosing the cover image

The defendants, including Nirvana and Universal Music Group, have not publicly commented on the amended complaint. Notably, the band recently released 30th anniversary editions of "Nevermind" featuring the original cover art, suggesting they aren't particularly concerned about the legal action.
