Isn't that how "All Rights Reserved" works -- you have to contact me
and negotiate a deal before doing anything? What is it about the
Creative Commons licenses that makes it easier to contact the original
creator?

The advantage of having explicit licenses is exactly the _opposite_ of
this: you don't _have_ to contact me to negotiate terms. You have the
same terms as anyone else, and they're explicitly spelled out.
