Elvis and Eminem rights holders sue AI music company Suno

Briefing by News4U · First published

The Verge reported that Suno is facing two more lawsuits over AI music clones. A group of rights holders of Elvis Presley's music and the publisher of some of Eminem's biggest records are suing the company, claiming it illegally generates music and lyrics that mimic those artists. Lawyers in the Presley suit say Suno violated Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, which makes it illegal for an AI company to clone a singer's voice. Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack told The Verge the company exists to help people create new, original music, not to trade on anyone's name or likeness, and prohibits unauthorized use of an artist's work.
