GoKawiilSuno hit with new copyright suits over Elvis and Eminem AI songs
Rights holders for Elvis Presley's music and Eight Mile Style, which controls Eminem's catalog, have each filed separate lawsuits against Suno, alleging its AI music generator produced songs that imitate Presley's sound and mimic Eminem's lyrics. Suno told Variety it bans unauthorized use of artists' names and songs and works with third parties to screen for misuse.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The filings add to a growing pile of copyright claims against Suno, including an ongoing suit from Sony Music and Universal Music Group over its v6 models, suggesting record labels see AI music tools as an unresolved legal threat. The Presley rights group's parallel $41 million suit against Anthropic indicates a broader campaign against AI firms training on copyrighted music, though Warner Music's decision to drop its suit for a licensing deal shows litigation isn't the industry's only response.
- Separate lawsuits from Presley rights holders and Eight Mile Style accuse Suno of mimicking the artists' work without licenses.
- Suno says it bans use of specific artists' names and songs and screens for misuse via third parties.
- The case adds to existing Suno suits from Sony and Universal, while Warner chose a licensing deal instead of litigation.
