I have actually found flickr's TOS and copyright stance to be surpisingly easy to understand. Perhaps there has been a change since Cynthetiq stopped using them?

Actually, they changed their login process since being purchased by Yahoo! As their TOS has also changed slighty. Again, it is not that it is so difficult to understand, people for the most part don't bother to read them more often than not, just like when parking a car in a lot, the claim ticket explains the contract rights but you are just more interested in parking your car than making any objections to the contract.
Also, this last iteration since the change, I don't have to accept the TOS since I'm already logging in via a Yahoo account, the TOS acceptance isn't presented.
