It's possible to write a release form that releases both the original
producer and producers of derivative works from being sued. But it
sounds to me, based on Terry's interpretation of the license, unless I
have used a specific release form in the creation of my video that
accounts for CC derivatives, and that video involves real people at
all, I cannot license it BY-SA with the intended effect of allowing
people to reuse it, as that re-use would violate publicity rights
without first getting permission from the human beings involved in the
video.
IANAL, and I don't know if this is the correct interpretation, but it
does ring true. And, if it is, it might render a lot of CC licensed
videos void.
