Elvis and Eminem rights holders are suing Suno

A group of rights holders for Elvis Presley's music and the publisher of some of Eminem's biggest records are suing AI music company Suno, claiming it illegally generates music and lyrics that mimic those artists. The Presley suit alleges violation of Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, which prohibits AI companies from cloning a singer's voice. Lawyers argue that Suno has encoded itself with artists' identities and creativity to profit. These suits mirror one filed by Jason Isbell and others in September, which claimed Suno created imitations but did not directly claim copyright infringement. Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack stated that Suno exists to help people create original music, not to trade on anyone's name or likeness, and that they prohibit unauthorized use, disallow prompts for specific artists, and screen uploaded files. This adds to existing lawsuits from Sony, UMG, Isbell, Reservoir Media, and others.
