Thanks Mark and Don.
I am interested in CC because I think that it is a vehicle to promote the work itself and also my intentions as an artist.  
I was also hoping that a CC license could shelter me from any repercussions.


It can't. That's the part if the sampling license that doesn't work. Negativland can have a CC sampling license attached to our work, meaning you are free to  transformatively re-use *our* work...but the folks that *we* transformatively re-used in our work gave us no such permission. So you are not protected. What can happen when you sample a sampler? When you sample a sample that isn't cleared?

Personally we don't find sampling a sampler to be a very interesting creative avenue to pursue, so we never do it.


 If I read correctly, the answer to that is negative, but weighed in against limited exposure and intent, it sounds like a worthwhile risk.


Me, I'd say you have ZERO risk. Who will know or care about what you do? Realistically, no one. I am continually shocked at the chilling effect these laws and supposed threats have on artists who have literally nothing to worry about. Those silly  industry lawyers who *might* have noticed you are now far too busy worrying about thier entire business model collapsing and suing their customers. They don't care about someone selling a few thousand CDs or making a free download of their work. I personally think its safer than its been in over a decade to do this sort of work, but some may disagree with me.

So, I think I will proceed with a license, even though it will not provide legal shelter for me.  I still have to determine which license (attribution -noncommercial).  The sampling license seems to encourage commerical use and with all the damn logos that fly through this piece sporadically I just freak out every once in awhile trying to figure out what to do.  My goal still is to post it for download and let a few people enjoy it if they want to.
