CC: A good approach, but enforceable?

Before I came to Seattle, Masaki’s blog is one of my sources to learn the city I have never been before. His hard work and patience should be admirable. Therefore, I agree with Keiko that Creative Commons is a good approach for the general public who has never taken any legal training. Honestly speaking, it is hard to educate every one the detail of copyright or licensing. However, if there is a guidance which is reasonable and easy to follow, it will be a start point to establish a rule for this community.
However, I am still concerning about the enforceability of Creative Commons. By using myself as an example, this is the first time I learn about the marks and the meanings of the marks. When I read the article, I cannot help to ask myself, “Did I see these marks before?” The answer might be “yes”. However, if I did not understand the meanings of the marks, how could I pay attention to the marks? Furthermore, in this kind of situation, did I really agree with the license agreements?
Regarding the enforceability, it seems like that there is an answer over here (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions).
