I posted this in SketchUcation last night, but it was deleted (they had a problem and had to revert to a backup, mind you).

You know what happens when you use music by a famous artist in your videos, even if it's a little snippet: Your video eventually ends up being taken down, and you could possibly be in trouble. Some time ago, Youtube introduced the "Audio Swap" tool to help alleviate this problem, but it's not perfect.

So after browsing Wikipedia on the subject, I found about the FREE!MUSIC project:

You can use any track from their library in any type of project, even commercial ones. What's the catch?
with one condition - the copyright information and author's contacts must be retained
Sounds fair to me. Here's the page from which I extracted the quote:
