Elvis and Eminem rights holders sue AI music generator Suno over copyright infringement

Rightsholders of Elvis Presley's music and the publisher of many of Eminem's records have filed sprawling federal lawsuits against Suno, an artificial intelligence music generator. The plaintiffs argue that Suno trained its models on copyrighted music without authorization, effectively creating a derivative work that infringes on their intellectual property rights. Legal filings suggest the companies view this technology as a direct threat to the future of human musicianship, warning that the next generation of hits may not involve a single guitar pick-up. The lawsuits seek to halt Suno's operations and secure damages for the alleged misuse of their extensive music catalogs.
