Suno, the AI music creation platform, is currently facing multiple lawsuits, including new legal challenges from rights holders associated with Elvis Presley and the publisher of some of Eminem's most popular recordings. The plaintiffs allege that the company is illegally producing music and lyrics that closely imitate the styles of these renowned artists. The lawsuit filed by Elvis Presley's rights holders specifically contends that Suno has violated Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, which prohibits AI companies from cloning a singer's voice. The representatives for Presley's rights holders further argued that Suno has integrated the artists' identities, creativity, and hard work into its system and leveraged these elements for its own purposes.
