( November 3, 2026, 21:51 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Suno moved to dismiss US privacy and right-of-publicity claims filed by professional performers Jason Isbell, David Lowery and others over its service that allows its customers to create AI music that mimics the singing voices of specific artists, saying none of its outputs can be mistaken for any of the musicians. “No state confers a right of publicity that prohibits a musician in a studio from saying to their producer, ‘let’s go for something here with more of a Jason Isbell vibe,’ and actually achieving that result without infringing any copyright or creating a likelihood of confusion over the identity of the performer.
