Eight Mile Style alleges Suno infringed 269 Eminem compositions

Eight Mile Style, LLC and Martin Affiliated, LLC have sued Suno, Inc. in federal court in California, alleging copyright infringement of 269 Eminem compositions. The case is 3:26-cv-13399 in the Northern District of California. The complaint was filed November 6, 2026. Suno has not been found liable.

The claims are allegations. The complaint accuses Suno of direct copyright infringement, of circumventing protection measures, and of removing or altering copyright-management information. It says the 269 works are identified in an exhibit and include compositions by Marshall Mathers, known as Eminem. A jury is demanded. The docket lists a $405 filing fee under receipt ACANDC-22697351.

The money line is a statutory ceiling, not a bill. The prayer seeks statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c), as an alternative to actual damages and profits. Across 269 works, the complaint totals that alternative at $40,350,000. That is a maximum the statute allows if willful infringement is proved. It is not a billed demand, and it is not a judgment.

Other statutory caps are also pleaded. The same prayer seeks up to $2,500 per violation of section 1201 and up to $25,000 per violation of section 1202. Those figures are also ceilings in the complaint, not amounts Suno has been ordered to pay.

No liability finding is in this case. The docket shows the complaint and a notice filed the same day. It does not show an answer, a hearing date, or a ruling against Suno.
