I hate to burst your bubble, folks, but Creative Commons licenses are fundamentally flawed by an unsustainable conceptual distinction between “commercial” and “noncommercial” uses.

First-time:
What’s wrong with copyright as such? I embrace Creative Commons and all the million different open source licences, but I think they all have their place. That’s why they’re all different: One is fine with, let’s say, private use, but not with commercial use. One is fine with using the work in any way, as long as it keeps a reference to the original creator, the other one doesn’t care. Just look at Giorgia’s comment; there’s a licence for that.
Not everyone is happy with sharing based on the conditions of others. Why not leave them be, and create something better and altogether different yourself? You can then share that, totally free of copy-right or -left or -center, if you wish.

I wonder if the creators of the I <3 NY campaign from the 1970s are consulting their lawyers right now over whether or not they are victims of plagiarism.

I’m also wondering if this design will be plagiarised for the sake of post-modernism, irony and EPIC LOL.

Frankly with all the DRM and absurd RIAA lawsuits I can’t see too many people expressing a love of copyright.
