How does a CC license challenge the thinking around copyright?

From the beginning, copyright was all about money: making sure the creator got as much as he could, and stopping others from doing so at his expense. "Moral rights" have been added in recent years in some countries, but for the most part, it's all about the money.
The popularity of Creative Commons licenses shows that for a lot of creators, it's really about the art. Far from copyright's fear that if they can't get paid for it, they won't do it, creators using CC are more interested in getting the materials out there, and seeing them get used.
Particularly in recorded music, artists have known for years that releasing an album for free download saves thousands of dollars for duplication, printing, and mailing; now they also see that allowing sharing (or even derivative works) via a CC license means invaluable word-of-mouth advertising. They might lose money on the recording, but they will certainly earn it back with ticket sales and other merchandise.

Do free music sites violate Music Copyright Law?
This is a very contentious issue and depends on the country the music is stored in, the country it is being downloaded in, the relationship the site has with the copyright owners and whether or not a copyright even exists on the music. In many countries it is illegal to host and download copyrighted music to/from the internet without permission from the copyright owner. With permission, a site may be allowed to do so. Napster's original incarnation was shut down for making music downloadable for free without permission from the copyright owners. One way around copyright laws is by downloading music that has been released into the public domain under licenses such as the Creative Commons attribution-non commercial share-alike license which allows the music to be freely copied and manipulated so long as the original author is credited and that it is distributed under the same license.
