But the problem with that is if a person shoots a video in public places 
entirely on his own, how do they know if that statue they passed by is in the 
video enough to require them to seek permission? What about the picture hung 
on the wall of the office they passed through? Etc. Are only legal experts or 
creatives with a legal department allowed to safely use cc licenses?

Granted, this is not an easy thing to solve and my ignorant take is that this 
is largely due to the crazy complexity of copyright and surrounding rights.

all the best,
