I would have thought this might indeed be the case. I'll try to find some more concrete info. Collecting societies are, of course, exactly that - collecting revenue that results from both commercial and non-commercial use of their clients' works, via primary or secondary licences. What would they get out of signing up to a CC licence? - Nothing, however frustrating it is for those of us who would like to 'cut out the intermediaries'!

Recently someone raised the question of the attitude of collecting societies
to Creative Commons. Under (some) CC licenses the collecting society, I
believe, will not receive any revenue. Is this correct and if so will
collecting societies oppose CC licenses? For example it was said that in
Germany the main collecting society had forbidden its members to release CC
work (is this true?).
