The reason why....
YouTube is partnered with WMG (Warner Music Group) which owns all music on major labels (Sony, EMI, Maverick, whatever) and are greedy pricks, like most big business. They have even begun suing people for illegally downloading music, and they take your videos down if they own the rights to the song in that video, because it allows people to download the video or stream the song, which defeats the purpose of buying music. Yes, mad with power.
There are several ways around this. Like John said, you could alter the song with Audacity or Garageband or whatnot, but this still might not work. You could make your own music with said programs too. Or, you could just use music which from bands which aren't signed to major labels (look them up on Wikipedia or whatever to check). These are usually lesser known or financially aware bands. There are some great bands who aren't major label affiliated, you just need to find them.
Yes, making a career in the music industry means you need to know this stuff XD. If you're looking for some non major label bands, here are some awesome ones .... Karnivool, Mammal, .hinge, Rook, Jericco, Horsell Common, SikTh, Dead Letter Circus, Birds of Tokyo, list goes on.
