From my limited understanding of the Creative Commons License it allows to reserve some of your rights to your music. What this means is that you can stipulate to an extent what can and can not be done with your music in the internet and physical worlds. In a nut shell you can have your music distributed all over the internet for listening pleasure but once it is to be used for commercial applications then you have to get paid handsomely! Here is an excerpt from the site:

Creative Commons helps you publish your work online while letting others know exactly what they can and can’t do with your work.

This is some pretty interesting stuff, and it looks like it may be helpful to independent artists, definately go to the site and read up on this. Maybe consult your legal advisor as well!
