I believe its assumed that you are either the owner of the copyright as uploader (in which case you would tag the image as such) or the owner of the copyright is listed (unless it is in the public domain, although it should be listed anyway), as the author may be different from the copyright owner (professional photographers working for a business?).
Well, yeah. Closest I've come to this is e.g. uploading an image by [[:en:User:Arkady Rose]] (my girlfriend) to Commons because she can't be bothered creating Yet Another Login. I uploaded it myself and said it was by her and put there under copyleft-self (dual GFDL and CC-by-sa) with her permission. If some hardworking wikilawyer started claiming the image must therefore be deleted as a risk to the project (what if EVERYONE did this?) then I fear my legendary patience and calm might slip.
