Funny, I nearly always have the opposite experience.
 
Specifically, people on Flickr taking images I created and reporting them as their own with totally wrong licensing and attribution.  It's happened often enough that I've gotten pretty distrustful of Flickr.

A few weeks ago, visiting a friend in London, I did the usual quick
round of museums; when at the Imperial War Museum, I took a pile of
photographs of various exhibits. I put them on flickr, and made a
mental note to put them on Commons at some point. Of course, what with
one thing and another, I never got round to it.

Since then, someone's transferred several over to be used as
illustrations for a handful of enwp articles, used one as the basis
for writing another article entirely, and left me a very nice note to
explain this...

I can't help but shake the feeling that our system *works* :-)
