Hi everybody,

Some time back, I had raised a similar issue where I described a situation
in which a wiki article under CC-NC was published in a newspaper. The
general consent on this list was that this is a violation, even though the
newspaper is not making money directly from that one article.

In your case, the money is much higher than what a newspaper costs and while
the charge is for bandwidth, I believe that it is a violation since they are
making money from a situation where your CC-NC property is being used.

Again, I am not a lawyer nor CC.
