I think Creative Commons is a great idea. One of the most significant advances in current technology has been through things like collaborative projects over the internet among the people all over the world. A great example of this is Wikipedia. Such things are called crowd-sourcing. The Creative Commons allows internet to be the great resource that it has always been and makes it available for everyone without the legal confusion or hassle. There are many people who wouldn't want all their works to be copyright and wouldn't mind people using their works.
I have done some photography as a hobby and have uploaded them in Flickr. All of the pictures I have used are under CC and recently one of the photos was used in an online article. I didn't mind that at all, in fact I was proud that they chose my picture. Most of my work has been done as a hobby and aren't professional in any sort. The only work that I would like to keep under copyrights would be the ones that I would do professionally.
