>"For example, some CC licenses allow distribution, remixing, and commercial use... which is something a copyright wouldn’t allow." This is not accurate. There is no such blanket restriction on copyrighted material. You can ask for such permissions (it's only polite) which may well be granted, for free, for a named credit, for a one-off fee, for a royalty. The difference is you must approach the owners for permission.
