The key to CC is not that it is an ideological solution to all issues and woes. It's instead a set of tools, for every individual to work out her or his solution with the appropriate fear and trembling. That's why I never worry about the folks who decry CC--if you can't see the advantages in a simplified set of copyright licenses for hobbyists, educators, and, yes, even performers, working in internet media, then your imagination is limited. But it's a matter of context and nuance--and not a simple CC is some wild blue heaven situation.

That’s why I never worry about the folks who decry CC–if you can’t see the advantages in a simplified set of copyright licenses for hobbyists, educators, and, yes, even performers, working in internet media, then your imagination
is limited.

But it’s a matter of context and nuance–and not a simple CC is some wild blue heaven situation.

On teru's point, I personally don't feel comfortable recommending CC 0 to any other musician. It's so extreme that it even makes me uncomfortable about recordings I make that hardly get 20 listens. “Charge the confusion to my expense account” — can I quote you on that?
