It is against a term in the Community Guidelines
(http://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne) that are referenced in the TOS.
 The relevant section is:

| * Don't upload anything that isn't yours.
|   This includes other people's photographs and/or stuff that you've
collected from around the
|   Internet. Accounts that consist primarily of such collections may
be terminated at any time.

This is spottily enforced, but a single account publishing large
quantities of our content would be a definite violation.
