I think it's also important to consider what your ultimate purpose
for the work is as well. If your purpose requires more control than
less, CC is not for you. However, there are many authors, fiction and
non-fiction, who have used CC licenses to spread their work, most
notably Lawrence Lessig himself (all of his works are under CC
licenses now) and three novels by Cory Doctorow. Both have benefited
financially from their decision to release PDFs of their work for
download under a CC license.
