Suryaa International Desk: The estates of music figures Elvis Presley and Eminem’s music publisher, Eight Mile Style, have filed separate copyright infringement lawsuits against the artificial intelligence music generator company Suno.
The petitioners allege that Suno used their intellectual property to train AI models without permission. They further claim the platform allows for the creation of songs that mimic the distinct voices and styles of these artists. The Elvis Presley estate has additionally alleged violations of voice cloning regulations under the Tennessee ELVIS Act. Meanwhile, Eminem’s publisher claims that approximately 269 copyrighted songs were used for training without authorization and is seeking approximately 41 million dollars in damages.
Suno has denied these allegations. Company representatives stated that they do not encourage the unauthorized use of artists or copyright infringement. The company noted that it has implemented filters and screening systems to prevent prompts using specific artist names. Suno is currently facing legal challenges from various recording labels and music companies.
