Law Case: Creative Commons (CC) licensing... contested in court...

"In February 2006, Adam Curry sued the Dutch tabloid Weekend for reprinting photos from his Flickr page and publishing details about his daughter.[25] The photos were released under a version of the Creative Commons license that forbids commercial use and requires acknowledgement, but the tabloid printed a few of them without contacting Curry.[26] The verdict did not award Curry any damages, but forbade the tabloid from reprinting the photos in the future, setting a fine of €1,000 for each subsequent violation. It was one of the first times the license was tested in court.[26]

In May 2009, Curry posted on his blog that another Dutch tabloid had published another Creative Commons-licensed photo from Curry's Flickr account.[27] After Curry asserted Creative Commons license requirements, the publisher settled on Curry's terms."
