If a listener can't place the art with the attribution, how can the  
art be considered to have been attributed?

Consider that DJ's are able to use tunes without attribution as  
rights organizations provide a platform for that use. Very rarely is  
a commercial DJ going to play a tune that is not published by a  
publisher. DJ's that are going to most likely use content licensed  
with a creative commons license are DJ's that want to run events that  
are out of reach of the rights organizations. Doesn't it make sense  
that free-culture DJ's innovate to make sure the artists that give  
that content freely are attributed?

I thought part of the deal with creative commons was, i don't get  
paid when the content gets a use, I get attributed. Consider that  
music artists in the US are able to use a creative commons license  
and be a member of a rights organization. Artists outside the US are  
able to join ASCAP with little difficulty, to join ASCAP costs 25  
dollars.
