[cc-licenses] BY-NC-SA and commercial use - wholesale copying, with ads

The BY-NC-SA licence says "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to
You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or
directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation."
I think this means that if a website copies my entire blog post wholesale
(admittedly with a link to my original post at the end) but without adding
any comment or original content of their own, and just runs a bunch of
Google AdSense ads on the same page, it is clearly copying my post in a
manner "primarily" intended for monetary compensation. And therefore
violating the terms of the BY-NC-SA licence.
Especially when it's been copying lots of my posts, a separate page on the
website for each post again with no original content, and running ads on
every one of those pages.
Is this correct, please? Seems to be, from this post
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2006-January/003108.html, but
I'd be grateful for views. (And if anyone has any ideas as to how I can stop
them, I'd be grateful to hear it too!)
Many thanks in advance.
