If I took a picture of the Mona Lisa and uploaded it somewhere and claimed that the image belonged to me because I took the picture and uploaded it, I'd get sued.

You don't deserve credit on the image's article for uploading it. An image's uploader already gets credit for that upload in the file's upload history. The author field in that template doesn't really have to be filled out, to be honest, and I've been considering removing it.
