The Canadian Alliance Against Software Theft (CAAST) is an industry alliance of software manufacturers who share the common goal of reducing software piracy. Their website describes a number of cases of companies that have paid large sums of money for installing illegal copies of software.

These are not, strictly speaking, fines. A group such as CAAST or the BSA make the offending company known that a court case would result in large fine, and offer to take a "settlement" instead of going to court. Offending companies nearly always comply.
