I'm not sure what a "blatant" copyright violation would be. There's
always the chance that the copyright owner of any image gave
permission to Wikimedia to use it - an editor who simply edits the
article cannot know whether that is true or not.
We dont accept "with permission" images, and we dont accept anything
that is not verifiable by someone else. So there would be supporting
documentation somewhere for that case.
