They haven't changed the agreement that much, and the part that has made people all go 'OMG NOO MY ART WILL BE STOLEN' is there just to give DA the right to
a) alter your pictures into thumbnails so you don't need to make all of them yourself and
b) the right to showcase your art in articles, DD's, featured prints at deviantprints dot com, et cetera.

I ask you; why would the largest art-site, a HUGE business that has eaten tens of thousands of dollars, shoot themselves in the ankle just to nick a picture or two from random people?
If any, they'd use art of those 1,000,000,000 pageview-talents, and yet they haven't done so. Why? Because they would literally kill their own company with it. No-one would use the site anymore and their business would be dead.
Remember, this is a registered business with incomes, paperworks, thousands of dollars invested yearly just on new hard-drives, not to mention the other bills and salaries of the employees. Not some shabby lil place that'll steal your art and sell it to be bookcovers at some cheapo online-place.
