Copyright laws about music from game demos?
Do you have the rights to have the music files saved in your pc after you delete the game demos? This is not asking whether you'll get caught or not, it simply asks whether it's legal or not to hold the music after uninstalling the demo
Hmm, some game demos from Japan game official websites don't even have Eula because there is no installation button. The demos are simply in compressed files that you extract from and it's ready to be play, so no idea whether it is ok to leave the music files or not.
Every answer is a bit different I've no idea how to determine which one is correct now.
I've read most demos' starting (abbreviated Eula screen) and it says nothing about forbidding users to leave the demo music, just not use them for commercial uses.

The demo would have a license you agree to when installing. You'd need to read that on a case-by-case basis.
Generally speaking, the demo likely just gives you permission to use the whole thing together, and not to take it apart, etc. And no, you would not have any "rights" to the music files just because you installed some game demo. But again, you'd need to read the specific license of any given demo. Some may say something different.

This falls under fair use.
As long as you are not using the music for public purposes, for a fee or not,
there is nothing wrong with you keeping the music files to a game on your computer.

Copyright laws prevent you for making a profit from the music. As long as you don't do that you are OK.

No
You have no right to use music which was lent to you for temporary use. You may "hold" this music, as there is no requirement that you remove such things from your hard drive, but you can not use this music as if you owned it.
