That doesn't mean there was consent and model release paperwork.

The record company should (only slightly ironically) keep records.

If they exist this case is going nowhere. If they don't - that might get interesting.

One would think there'd be some kind of implied consent.

It's hard to imagine a situation where a record company ends up with naked pictures of someones kid, the parent gets paid, and the parent is genuinely not ok with the pics appearing on an album cover.

I agree it's more interesting if there's no consent form, but I still would hope the court would side with the record company.
