## Summary

Elvis Presley’s rightsholders and Eight Mile Style, a co-publisher of Eminem songs, have filed separate lawsuits accusing AI music generator Suno of copyright infringement and unauthorised use of artists’ voices and likenesses. The cases raise questions about how AI music tools use recordings and imitate performers, and what protections artists and rights owners can claim.

The Presley complaint covers 859 compositions and seeks more than $202 million across its claims, including alleged voice and likeness misuse; Eight Mile Style’s case concerns 269 compositions and seeks just over $47.7 million. Presley’s rightsholders say Suno trained on his recordings and produced songs in a recognisable voice, citing at least 38 outputs, while Suno has said its system does not replicate specific artists’ voices. The suits were filed on 6 November in a California federal court.
