Ah, it's not just the legal system that can notice something! Companies can be violating the Code without violating the law.
If there's a particular company that I want to know about (for example because they are being considered for conference sponsorship), I contact ICDC who have the responsibility for monitoring the Code worldwide, and I ask them. As Marsha mentioned, things can change pretty quickly and any list would be incomplete.
