The major weakness with Creative Commons licensing (beyond giving away your music for non commercial use for eternity and essentially forcing yourself to compete with your future commercial efforts with free copies of your work) is that it focuses on uses by other artists. So does the remixing. The market is not to other artists if you want mainstream success. It's to fans who want to listen to cool music. They aren't likely to be caught up in remixing unless that's what they do. And there's little promotional value because even if someone creates a hot remix of your music, it's free to copy and pass along without ever paying you another dime so why would anyone pay you going forward?

CC has artistic benefits. If you're in it purely for the art and not to ever make a living, then it might be a great artistic choice for you. If you have commercial goals, it's less attractice and beneficial.
