Deviant Art users have copyright to their images bestowed upon them by DeviantArt itself. However, because we neither attempt to sell the images for personal profit, nor take credit for making the picture, DA honestly has no legal standing past those two circumstances. While it may be considered rude, from the time people put their stuff on the internet, on a public site no less, they shouldn't be surprised if people use those images. Hell, I've seen print shops find images on Google Images, and use them for restaurant menus. And there is no legal discrepency regarding that. So really, as long as we state on the trivia section, "I don't own the picture in question", and don't sell the image, we don't have to do anything more than that.
