Older videos using Powerdirector supplied 'copyright free' music now being claimed by Shutterstock on YouTube!

I've recently had a company acting for Shutterstock copyright claim videos I made a few years ago using 'copyright free' music supplied as part of my Powerdirector Suite subscription. I've contested them and my disputes have been upheld however this is time consuming. Why am I getting my videos claimed by Shutterstock after all this time? What has changed? This is not a Meta / Youtube licencing issue as I NEVER use Meta music as I always post my videos to Youtube. Perhaps someone from Customer Services may have an explanation.

AFAIK, Shutterstock library had terminated the licensing with cyberlink many years ago, but it won't affect old videos that were uploaded in the past at the time being that the licensing was still valid.
If any new claims appear on old videos, it is usually from copyright cockroaches.
It is not a rare case on YouTube that old videos got copyright claims from an unknown party or even a known party after many years passed. You can Google search and will find there are many copyright victims no matter which music library the creators use.
That is definitely YouTube's problem that needs all YouTubers or creators to fight with YouTube and complain why it allows such claims made on old videos.
You should ask YouTube's Customer Service but not cyberlink actually to give you a real-person explanation.
TLDR;
Change the BGM to other one. Move on, bro.
