I don't think that's true. Flickr uses a grey "(c)" (backwards?) for the
link to licence information. I think the (C) is a good indicator that you
shouldn't just pinch the image without thinking. You should stop, check the
licence information, then go ahead.

In any case, most Wikipedia images *are* copyrighted. They're also free
licenced.
