Nov 9 (Reuters) - Several entities that own copyrights in Elvis Presley and Eminem's music catalogs have sued Suno in California federal court for allegedly misusing their work to train its AI music generator.

  • The groups said in the complaints filed on Friday that Suno infringed hundreds of their copyrights by using the music to generate similar work

  • Elvis Presley Enterprises also accused Suno of violating a Tennessee law named after Presley that was meant to block AI companies from misusing artists' names, images, voices and likenesses

  • Spokespeople for Suno did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the complaints on Monday

  • Suno has previously been sued by major music labels Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music over its AI training

  • Warner has since settled its lawsuit, while UMG and Sony's cases are still ongoing

  • Presley's rightsholders separately sued Anthropic in October for allegedly misusing his lyrics to train its chatbot Claude

The cases are Elvis Presley Enterprises v. Suno Inc, US District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 3:26-cv-13398 and Eight Mile Style LLC v. Suno Inc, US District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 3:26-cv-13399.
