Elvis Presley Enterprises and 13 other plaintiffs are suing Suno, an AI music generator, over what the complaint calls a “potpourri of willful violations” of Tennessee's . The group filed the suit Nov. 6, and it alleges profited from Presley's music in an amount believed to exceed $50 million.

Gov. Bill Lee signed the ELVIS Act in March 2024. It bars using AI to replicate a performer's voice without permission. The suit says Suno has “stolen Elvis’ voice, his image, and likeness.” It follows a suit against Anthropic filed last month, which says Anthropic used songs like “All Shook Up” to train its AI agent Claude.

The Wrap

The University of Memphis women's basketball team is off to its best start in a long while. The Tigers beat Little Rock 62-48 Monday night at Elma Roane Fieldhouse to go 3-0 for the first time since the 2004-05 season. First-year head coach Hana Haden is the first Memphis women's coach to open with three straight wins since then. Not a bad way to start.
