I’m not a famous musician and I want my music to get out into the world, so Creative Commons is very attractive to me. I’m not out to make a buck off of my creations. If it eventually leads to that, great…but for right now, I’m very realistic about my level of fame (i.e. none). I’m not deluded into thinking I’m going to make millions, or even thousands, of dollars from my songs.
It’s similar to middle class people during Presidential elections here in the U.S…. many middle class people vote for candidates who want to give tax breaks to very rich people, because those middle class people are deluded into thinking that one day, they too will be one of those rich people. They vote against their own best interests because of these delusions. Same thing with unknown musicians who are anti-Creative Commons.
