How are these audio tracks not copyright violations?

Good question. The composer and artist of most of them in Japan is Minoru Mukaiya.[1] He's also the CEO of Ongakukan, which builds train simulators for both games and training.

He's done over a hundred original station jingles.[2] Many of the Yamanote Line jingles are classics, though.

Seems like he has nothing to do with the Yamanote line melodies though.
