 As an educator I  agree to :"When sharing, simple is best. Use CC-BY."

The CC-BY licence allows anyone to: copy, distribute and transmit the work adapt the work,make commercial use of the work .under the condition that the user must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor.
 publishers use CC-BY  to make their work available to a wider audience .It can help others create their own work. CC-BY license, which allows unlimited use and modification, including commercial uses, provided the source is attributed.  At a minimum the attribution requires listing the names of the authors. So far, open access publishing has been presented as both a public and a private good.  Authors benefits from barrier-free dissemination and reuse, and authors benefit from wider readership.
However ,many authors are unaware that the CC-BY licenses of their open-access papers allow commercial publishers to alter and republish their papers without consulting them. 
For a creator, once he  license his  work he would not be able to cancel the Creative Commons licenses he  applied to all of his old work. For example, perhaps a photography hobby has now turned into a profession. He would not be able to cancel the Creative Commons licenses he  applied to all of his old work.
Often photograph  can be misused by others and having your name attached to it.
So before applying any creative commons to your work you should before decide whether they are willing to share their work permanently under those terms.
