Sounds like it's hard to enforce, unless after the fact a crew member came forward to say they heard a distress call and the captain ordered them to ignore it.
At the same time though (and this is me speaking from 0 experience) I'd imagine that most sailors understand the importance of "do unto others..." with respect to distress calls. Even with modern technology, the ocean can be a dangerous place.
