Yes. Unless you have permission of the owner of the picture you may not use it especially commercially. Additionally, many of these sites have content posted on them that is already a copyright violation.
As an example, someone copies a picture from a magazine and posts it on Flickr (or any other web site). They have violated the copyright owned by the magazine.
