Those might be legit claims since they have new soundtracks. As long as the person claiming it has the right to the soundtrack.

This does bring up an interesting question as to how public domain/copyright works with different types of revisions.

Like in Metropolis' case there's fuckery with the soundtrack including some very recent variations, colorized versions...and I think even something like a 4K remaster would qualify (so you couldn't distribute a version done from a remastered version).

Japan is extra-weird because movies from before I think 1953 are all legally considered public domain so bootlegs of these older films are prevalent but they are all very clearly bootlegs, so lovely transfers, often have things like opening/closing credits removed etc.
