CC is not an alternative to copyright; it is a means for granting license to material that is under copyright.
But as to Adolfo's original question: The CC date seems to be a CC license date, not necessarily a copyright date. The two dates might coincide, but then again they might not. CC license terms end when the
copyright term itself ends. It's possible that a CC license was applied to something in 2013 that was actually copyrighted many years earlier. I'd just go with the year in brackets in 264 _1 $c.

Personally, I would record Creative Commons information in the 540 Terms governing use and reproduction note and simply record the name/type of the CC license as that note.
Copyright is often a legal and/or constitutional concept from a federal government and has specific legal aspects.
Creative Commons is purposefully an alternative to copyright and is intended to enrich the public domain, and while I think it can be argued that CC is copyright-like in some ways, it is not copyright.
My two cents

Subject: [PCCLIST] Creative Commons rights statement
Greetings,
Collective wisdom, one of my catalogers is cataloging the open access titles from Knowledge Unlatched. One specific title is “Fighting for a living” accessible at
http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=468734. Our question is that we find no date of publication on this piece, instead there is the Creative Commons statement shown below. We are pretty much in
agreement here that we should record 2013 as the date of publication, in brackets, in the 264 _1 $c, but could the year as presented below be taken as a publication date and therefore no brackets are needed? We generally agree the date would not go in a 264
_4 as a copyright statement, on the other hand, it is a rights statement, so maybe the date should go there. And, do we record/mention the CC statement in a 5XX note, e.g. 500 “Creative Commons License CC BY NC ND” and if so, is it 500, 506, 540, 542, something
else?
Thoughts?????
