Thank you for the explanation.

What I don't understand is that there is a requirement to attribute
the author in a manner specified BUT it often does not list what
manner the authoer would like to be attributed in -- so what then?

And what is stopping someone who released a track under the creative
commons from essentially saying they didn't (how would you prove THEY
were the ones who actually submitted it) and trying to collect
royalties?
