C-c C-c is not a universal binding for commenting.  M-; is.  C-c C-c is 
most likely bound by some major mode you are using.  Try it in e.g. 
lisp-mode and you will see that it does not do commenting there.

This also depends on the modes you are using.  You can use e.g. C-h b to 
see all bindings currently active (usually a pretty long list), or you 
can use C-h m to see a description of all modes you are currently using, 
which narrows the list of bindings for each mode down.
