ccMixter's goal is not be a hub, just another place where remixes happen and be just another example of ccHost's overall goal http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost#Goal We see every ccHost installation as part of a larger web of content, not the top of mirrored hierarchy. We handle cross domain attribution using the sample API. http://ccmixter.org/freesound as an example. Install ccHost and point to ccMixter, Freesound as a sample pool and you are connected.
