Two new lawsuits accuse AI music generator Suno of copyright infringement. One was brought by the rights group behind Elvis Presley's music, and the other by Eight Mile Style, a music publishing company that owns hundreds of Eminem recordings. The plaintiffs say Suno's generator produced songs that sound like Presley and mimic Eminem's lyrics.

Two new lawsuits accuse AI music generator Suno of copyright infringement, claiming the company's platform has produced songs that sound like Elvis Presley and reuse Eminem's lyrics. Variety first reported the filings.

Who is suing Suno over Elvis Presley and Eminem songs?

One suit was brought by a group that owns the rights to Presley's music. The other was filed by Eight Mile Style, a music publishing company that owns hundreds of Eminem recordings. Both cases point to specific songs created through Suno's generator. The plaintiffs say some of those tracks sound like Presley, and others mimic Eminem's lyrics.

Attorneys representing the plaintiffs in both cases argued that the tool undermines the artists it copies. They said Suno's actions "make human creativity obsolete, coldly replicating without a license in seconds what takes years to learn, struggle with, maintain, and endlessly attempt to make better and perfect."

How has Suno responded to the copyright lawsuits?

Suno pushed back in a statement to Variety. The company said it does not allow "any unauthorized use of an artist's work," and that it prohibits using "specific artists' names and songs." It also said it works with third-party companies to screen for "potential misuse."

The rights group behind Presley's music has also taken on other AI developers. It recently filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, claiming $41 million in damages for allegedly training its AI models on the musician's works without permission.

The new filings add to a growing list of legal challenges for Suno. Earlier this year, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group jointly filed a lawsuit claiming that Suno is still infringing on its copyrighted material through its latest v6 models.

Not every music company is fighting the company in court. Last year, Warner Music Group dropped its lawsuit against Suno and agreed to a licensing deal instead.
