As far as I remember, CC was not about building a Commons in the first place. Rather, it was about hacking copyright law so as to make it easier to share materials online and to prevent users from breaking the law when doing something related to copyright. I remember a talk by Lawrence Lessig a long time ago when he said a copyright law a 15-year-old does not understand is bad copyright law. His aim was to change something about this. I would say CC licences have failed for a different reason. Most users still do not understand how to licence an item properly, viz., how to use to attribution clause correctly with the copyright holder's name BY, the work's title and the correct license according to the rules. This is still too difficult for most people. And, secondly, we have not become a nation of remixers because the most important case or reusing materials is retweeting etc. on social networks which, as we all know, will not do with free licences altogether. And, thirdly, still no system has been established the really creative people publishing under CC can make a living if everyone is free to use and re-use their works. So the social question deems on the horizon, stil, after so many years. Think about this when talking about the NC clause.
