Creative Commons: what am I not thinking about that I maybe should be?

I'm thinking seriously about releasing a feature length animated movie with a Creative Commons License, specifically one that allows for reuse (in whole or part) for commercial ends, though I would have to be credited (attributed), and any reuse would need to be shared under the same terms (see link below). I'm comfortable with the decision. I haven't taken it lightly. But is there something I'm not considering that I should be? Is there some Creative Commons (Copyleft) horror story that you're aware of? Maybe it happened to you, maybe someone you know.
To be clear, I realize this won't be helping me much financially. But I've seen many a low budget, high workload independent release try and fail to even begin to reach an audience, let alone make any worthwhile cash. So I'm making the call that my main concern is just getting the work out there. Whatever it takes to find people. Why not let random strangers do some of this work for me? Why do anything to mitigate such (beyond reserving credit/attribution and ensuring the same terms apply to any reuse)?
