I suppose you could bribe the judge to accept your selling of NC work,  
but that wouldn't really constitute a non-commercial use of the work,  
either.

Like I said, I think you're starting to venture into territory CC  
can't really cover with its licenses. And given its success thus far,  
I don't think you can argue there's fundamentally anything wrong with  
the system it has created for itself, moral or otherwise.

Best,
