Elvis Presley’s Rights Owners Sue Suno for Cloning His Voice. It’s One of the First Big Tests of Tennessee’s ELVIS Act
The company that controls Elvis Presley's name, image and likeness has sued the AI music generator Suno, accusing it of letting anyone with a keyboard make new songs in Presley's voice. The federal lawsuit, filed on Friday, 6 November, is one of the first major cases brought under Tennessee's ELVIS Act, the 2024 law that made a person's voice, real or simulated, a protected right.

Variety, which describes the plaintiffs as a group that includes Authentic Brands Group, Raleigh Music Publishing and others, says the 51-page complaint was filed in the Northern District of California.
