Out of curiousity, why use cc for this, and not say dc:creator or even mm:artistList (http://www.musicbrainz.org/MM/)?

As noted previously, CC does use dc:creator.

So does MusicBrainz actually. Look at <http://www.musicbrainz.org/MM/mq_examples.html#artist>. The things analogous to CC "Work" metadata are MM "Album" and MM "Track" metadata. They both use

<dc:creator rdf:resource="{MB artist ID}" />

to reference the creator of a track or album. MB would/does have the exact same issues concerning use of dc:creator vs. dc:contributor.
