Suno AI music generator sued again for copyright infringement
Groups that own the music rights to Elvis Presley and Eminem's tracks filed the latest lawsuits.
Two music groups, owners of Elvis Presley and Eminem tracks, have filed fresh lawsuits accusing AI music generator Suno of copyright infringement. According to Variety, rights-holders to Presley's music and Eight Mile Style, a publishing company that owns numerous Eminem recordings, separately sued Suno. Both cases include examples of AI-generated songs allegedly resembling Presley or Eminem's lyrics.
The plaintiffs' attorneys claim Suno's actions undermine human creativity by coldly replicating without permission what typically takes years to master. Suno denies unauthorized use of artists' work, stating it prohibits specific artists' names and songs and collaborates with third-party firms to detect potential misuse. The Presley group has previously sued Anthropic for $41 million, alleging unauthorized training of AI models on Presley's works.
Suno has faced multiple copyright infringement accusations, including a recent joint lawsuit by Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group over its latest v6 models. However, not all entities are pursuing legal action; Warner Music Group recently abandoned its lawsuit against Suno after agreeing to a licensing agreement.
