A Creative Commons license helps protect your rights as the copyright holder by explicitly stating how you wish your work to be used.  The Creative Commons website says it best: "All Creative Commons licenses have many important features in common. Every license helps creators — we call them licensors if they use our tools — retain copyright while allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some uses of their work — at least non-commercially. Every Creative Commons license also ensures licensors get the credit for their work they deserve." The License Chooser makes it easy to find the license to suite your needs. Here is a great video describing the usefulness and process for licenses. Note: CC licenses are non-revocable so once you choose on for your work - that is the license it'll have forever.
