Wrong. By default all images uploaded to flickr are All Rights Reserved and will remain so unless changed by the user. Also, Creative Commons _is_ a copyright, it is just a very permissive one. It does not mean that all and sundry can use the shots for whatever they want.
I've been trying it out for just over a week now and really like it. The part I really like is so far I've yet to see one of those annoying html badges in a comment. That and there's some really good photographers one there. Based on this first week, I can see me letting my flickr account lapse when it comes up for renewal.
