Used Vegas audio content in YT Video, received a copyright claim

I'm confused. I used a download content piece of music provided by Magix with my VP22 Suite, which included a music bundle. I uploaded the video, and have received a copyright claim on the video per attached screenshot.

I thought I had rights to use this music in my videos. My channel is not monetized, but should I just delete the video and re-upload without the music or should I dispute the claim?

 

It does say "The owner allows the content to be used on YT", but I'm not comfortable with any type of copyright on my videos.

@anthony-chiappette Search this forum for "Youtube copyright" and you will find many posts on this YT problem, and how to resolve it.

@anthony-chiappette Since it's not notice of a take-down demand and you don't monetize your videos on YouTube, you don't need to do anything. What I'm not clear on is whether the Magix-supplied music library itself wants to be able to get paid by YouTube... if they own the copyright, they would be entitled to be the claimant. I didn't buy that Magix bundle myself, and I don't know if the license it grants relinquishes their right to get YouTube revenue instead of you. But I don't think YouTube would be inclined to pay you if they were not required to by the copyright law.
