Well trust is not that bad in small cases of one2one transactions but CC is meant to be huge.

Lets take for example those icons. Imagine that they are posted under CC-share revenue-share alike-derivation allowed. Then someone takes them and puts in to a presets of tile based RPG game engine. Then people start making Flash based games on it and some even make MMORPG that sells in game stuff...

Hmm may be not best example but it does show that it would scale badly... It will not be about trust already but about possibility to be overwhelmed by derivative works and raising complexity of managing income and sharing it further to people whose works you used.

Actually it even raises yet another question what if some kind of library/game would include like 10 authors artworks and 3 songs and one more effects engine all under CC?

I am not saying that it is impossible to add "share revenue" but it would need a lot of work and thinking to be done it seems... Interesting if there are related discussions on creativecommons.org Will need to check as it is interesting and important topic for CC evolution :)

I think it would have to be completely based on trust, as there's nobody to inforce it.

Good post and yeah adding some kind of revenue share would be a good idea and would boost CC even further.
Tough there is range of problems... Firstly how would % of share determined? Again direct and indirect money gaining still exists...
And most importantly what with share-alike with derivative allowance? How would you track that?

So it seems it's kind of hard to do but may be some kind of CC work and their relation indexing platform with payments mechanisms included could work.
