Suno is facing two more lawsuits over AI music clones. A group of rights holders of Elvis Presley's music and the publisher of some of Eminem's biggest records are suing the AI music company, claiming it illegally generates music and lyrics that mimic those artists, according to The Verge.
The Presley suit argues Suno violated Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act, which makes it illegal for an AI company to clone a singer's voice. The suits closely mirror a September filing by Jason Isbell and other artists, which claimed Suno created imitations of the plaintiffs but did not claim copyright infringement directly.
Suno lawsuits pile up as AI music fight grows
This is not Suno's first legal battle. The company already faces lawsuits from Sony, UMG, Isbell, Reservoir Media and more, making it one of the most sued AI music startups. The new filings add star power to a fight that now touches some of the biggest names in music history.
In the Presley complaint, lawyers argue that Suno used artists' identities, hard work, creativity and time to run what they describe as a conveyor belt of revenue. Another line of the complaint says Suno's race to the bottom aims to make human creativity obsolete by replicating in seconds what takes years to master.
What Suno says about artist mimicry
Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack told The Verge that the company exists to help people create new, original music, not to trade on anyone's name or likeness. She said Suno prohibits any unauthorized use of an artist's work.
McCormack added that Suno does not allow prompts for specific artists' names and songs. She said the company works with third-party providers to screen uploaded audio files and lyrics for potential misuse, and that it continues to add safeguards for artists and users.
What it means for you
For now this is a legal fight in the United States, and nothing changes for users today. If courts side with rights holders, AI music tools could face tighter limits on how they handle artist names, voices and uploaded audio.
There is no announced availability or price change for Tunisia tied to these lawsuits. Music fans and creators in Tunisia who use AI tools should expect stricter guardrails over time, but the timeline is not yet clear.
