, claiming that the band's use of his image—taken when he was 4 months old—was"child pornography" and"trafficking" whose publication affected him for life. He has sued the band for that, alleging that they had made millions off of his image while Elden hasn't seen any profit from it.
The lawsuit concerns one of the most famous photographs of all time. The photo shows a naked baby floating in a swimming pool, while a dollar bill dangles from a fishhook in the foreground. The lawyers wrote that Elder had re-enacted the photograph in exchange for money, many times. Elder had the album title tattooed across his chest, had autographed copies of the album cover for sale on eBay and had"used the connection to try to pick up women," they added.
They have a more than valid argument. He's used it to his advantage in many ways, for many years. Guess the gravy train is slowing doing so now he's going for the gravy boat...
