[cc-community] CC and live performance/cover songs

Can anyone please help out with this question: 

Live performance of cover versions of a song as well as recordings of such covers are regulated by means of a compulsory license in most if not all jurisdictions, right? 

Now what if I license one of my original songs under CC? Does this change anything? What if I use a license allowing derivatives, like CC-BY? Can I still collect royalties for (a) public performance or (b) for recordings of cover versions?

Does it make a difference whether I license the recording or the composition under CC-BY?

A student asked me something along these lines and I haven't come up with a definitive answer, but I'm sure that some on this list would be able to provide an answer :)

Thank you
Giorgos
