GoKawiilElvis Presley rights holders, Eminem publisher sue AI music firm Suno
A group holding rights to Elvis Presley's music and a publisher tied to Eminem's catalog have filed lawsuits against AI music generator Suno, alleging it produces songs and lyrics that mimic the artists' voices and styles. The Presley-related suit invokes Tennessee's ELVIS Act, which bars AI firms from cloning a performer's voice, while both complaints echo arguments from an earlier Jason Isbell lawsuit filed in September. Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack said the company blocks prompts naming specific artists and screens uploaded material for misuse.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The filings add to a growing stack of legal challenges against Suno from Sony, UMG, Reservoir Media and musicians like Isbell, suggesting mounting industry pressure on AI music generators over how they train on and reproduce artists' likenesses. Because the Presley suit cites a specific state voice-cloning law rather than copyright alone, it could test new legal avenues beyond traditional copyright claims for policing AI-generated content.
- Elvis Presley rights holders and an Eminem publisher have sued Suno over alleged artist mimicry.
- The Presley suit invokes Tennessee's ELVIS Act targeting unauthorized AI voice cloning.
- Suno already faces lawsuits from Sony, UMG, Reservoir Media and Jason Isbell.
