Yes, they just changed the wording after many people 
complained.  Flickr is still the site where most stolen photos 
originate, though.  There are many examples like this one:
http://www.switched.com/2007/09/21/virgin-mobile-steals-teens-flickr-photo-for-ad/
And Flickr will not support photographers who complain about thefts:

I like the extra support and protection that SmugMug gives to photographers.
