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.
