On November 6, a group representing Elvis Presley's music rights, including Authentic Brands Group and Raleigh Music Publishing, filed a 51-page complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against AI music generator Suno. The lawsuit claims Suno copied 859 Presley compositions to train its AI system and permits users to create music that mimics the singer's voice and likeness. The plaintiffs also cited Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, a 2024 law designed to protect artists against unauthorized commercial use of their voice and image, arguing that Suno allows for the reproduction of Presley's "rich vocal timbre" without permission.On the same day, Eight Mile Style, the publisher controlling hundreds of Eminem's compositions, filed a separate lawsuit against Suno in the same court. The publisher alleges Suno infringed upon 269 of its works by copying material to train its AI model and enabling users to generate songs and lyrics resembling Eminem's style. Eight Mile Style is seeking over $41 million in damages, calculated at the statutory maximum of $150,000 for each of the 269 compositions, plus an additional $672,000 for alleged removal of copyright management information. Eminem is not a direct plaintiff in this case.Both lawsuits were filed by the same legal team, which includes attorney Richard Busch, known for representing Marvin Gaye's estate in the "Blurred Lines" copyright case. The complaints argue that AI companies are transforming artists' identities and creative work into commercial products without authorization. The Presley complaint included the statement, "The next Elvis won't pick up a guitar," to emphasize the potential for AI to replicate and thus replace human artistry.Suno has previously defended its practices, stating that it aims to help people create original music and does not permit prompts using specific artists' names or songs. The company also claims to use third-party systems to screen uploaded audio and lyrics for potential misuse. However, the Presley complaint alleges that as recently as October, typing Presley's name into Suno's "Create" function could produce music with an Elvis-like vocal.These new lawsuits add to a series of legal challenges faced by Suno regarding the use of copyrighted music to train generative AI systems. Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment are also pursuing claims against the company, while Warner Music Group settled its earlier case with Suno in November 2025, which included a licensing partnership. Suno has also faced litigation from Americana singer Jason Isbell and other musicians concerning the use of artists' identities.
