The following text may shed some light on this:

The plain text of the statute seems clear enough to me.

 

Note that adaptation is *not* a copy it's an adaptation (or derivative
work). I would not hold that 17 USC 109 applies to this situation.

If a derivative work is not also a copy, then 17 USC 106(3) wouldn't apply either.

But hey, whatever, if CC wants CC licenses to give up the right to sue for a violation of 106(2), that's fine with me.
