Photographers, and those working in digital (or easily digitisable mediums)
maybe, but what of painters, printmakers and those whose work comprises a
single artefact (or a signed and numbered limited edition of those
artefacts) - surely a CC licence has minimal negative impact on their
revenue stream, as their income comes primiarily from the sale of the
artefact(s), rather than reproductions, or the right to reproduce them. In
fact (as Nathaniel Stern pointed out in the Artists in Residence session at
iSummit), the use of a CC licence can *increase* the revenue generated for
this sort of artist, as an artefact of this sort tends to increase in value
the more it is reproduced.

Cheers,

Tim
