The way I see it is some honest people will be put off by uncertainty, CC gives clear information about what is and what isn't allowed. Added to that more people are *searching* for CC licensed content, it makes it worth at least looking into. @Ahmed – thanks!

He said (and my experience back in Communication Law backs it up) that it's really unnecessary. You already hold the copyright to any work you've produced even if there isn't a CC license listed on your site. It seems to me that anyone who would be low enough to plagiarize someone's work wouldn't be stopped by a CC license anyway and most legitimate bloggers know how to properly attribute and link as it is. I don't want to sound so negative but I guess what I'm saying is that someone who's going to steal will do it regardless of whether you've gone to the extra work and effort to get a CC license. It's just extra work without any added benefit. My husband is an attorney so I turned to him the first time I saw a CC button and asked him about its efficacy.
