Elvis and Eminem Rights Holders Sue Suno for AI Copyright Infringement

Elvis Presley rights holders have sued AI music generator Suno, alleging copyright infringement and that it enables users to create tracks imitating Presley’s voice without permission, in violation of Tennessee’s ELVIS Act. In a separate lawsuit, Eight Mile Style, which controls rights to many Eminem recordings, alleges Suno lets users generate music and lyrics that copy the rapper’s work; Eminem is not a party to the case. The plaintiffs accuse Suno of commercially exploiting artists’ identities and creative work and are seeking legal remedies, including a jury trial. Suno says it aims to help users make original music, bars prompts naming specific artists, and uses safeguards to detect misuse. The cases add to Suno’s legal challenges, while Presley rights holders have separately sued Anthropic over the alleged use of Elvis songs to train its AI.
