Should've filed before Kurt ate that 12 Gauge. He'd get more money. That's my dark thought for the day. 

Here's my dark thought - I hope the guy gets everything that has anything to do with Nirvana...I hate that band so much.

It's not nice to hate.

Not nice. But depending on what it is your hating i can be  justified

I really like the Remington model 11.


It' s what we trained with in the USCG ( late 1970's) for shipboard boardings ...

And


It' s what Corbain snuffed hisself with - thus preventing us from being subjected to any more of the whiney shit Nirvana churned out.....

I should buy one for old times sake....

If it was considered porn it would have been censored a long time ago.

Just for the record, there’s a legal test for whether or not a picture constitutes child pornography called The Dost Test. And since I own a copy, here’s my attempt at cross-referencing it with the criteria:

Whether the focal point of the visual depiction is on the child's genitalia or pubic area. No, and, frankly, it took me years to make out “yep, that’s a baby dick.”
Whether the setting of the visual depiction is sexually suggestive, i.e., in a place or pose generally associated with sexual activity. Swimming =/= sexual activity.
Whether the child is depicted in an unnatural pose, or in inappropriate attire, considering the age of the child. The closest thing I can see is the whole “baby swimming at all” thing, but apparently, this is a thing according to Wikipedia’s page on infant swimming.
Whether the child is fully or partially clothed, or nude. Nude, but, frankly, child nudity on its own is actually not sufficient to constitute child pornography. The Criterion Collection has several films with nonsexual nude shots of children and unless films like Walkabout, Powaqqatsi, Once Upon a Time in America and Woman Under the Influence are going to be impounded by the Feds, I can’t expect that to change anytime soon. And, yes, I know OuATIA isn’t in the Criterion Collection but that diaper scene is such an obvious example that I couldn’t, in good conscience, not reference it.
Whether the visual depiction suggests sexual coyness or a willingness to engage in sexual activity. I’m gonna defer to J. Jonah Jameson here



Whether the visual depiction is intended or designed to elicit a sexual response in the viewer. See the previous point.

While they say that not all criteria have to be met, given that the one criterion that does fit is known to not be sufficient, I’m going to have to say “Not CP.”

And whether or not using the baby at all is exploitative, the thing is, if applied consistently, that would preclude including children in art or entertainment at all.

And you thought you hated ABBA.

In all seriousness, music is generational. I don't like Nirvana either, but I am older than the generation that would be into them. 

I am weird I guess. I can get into 70s/80s/90s/2k music depending on song/band. But I would agree Nirvana is not one of my favorites.

The whole he wasn't old enough to consent argument simply isn't going to work for his case. It would set the precedent that parents simply aren't ever allowed to take photos of their babies or kids.

I have photos of my kids but I wouldn't sell them for publication. I have a couple bare butt photos but any frontal pics they are covered with a washcloth since those pics are mostly taken in the bathtub.

We have pics of our sons in the tub, no genitalia shown. It isn't that difficult a concept, amirite?

Maybe not, but it keeps you warm.
