This is a great list and exactly the sort of thing CC should have as

Howabout:
* An individual downloads a by-nc 2.0 book on their computer and
pays their local copy shop to print and bind them a copy.

pays their local copy shop to print and bind them a copy.
They then give this to a friend, who sells this on eBay.
