I'm curious; has anyone ever actually enforced a CC-NC or CC-ND license, in a case that wouldn't be adequately covered by a CC-SA license (such as a straight ripoff with no credit or incorporating the work into something non-free)?

I ask because while I understand the argument for the NC and ND licenses in theory, I wonder if there is any evidence that they actually do what they intend in practice.
