With Photoshop file viewer and Bridge you can add copyright info to the EXIF that for me is a good reason to leave it there. I know just about anyone can then remove it, but people that d/l images and send it to friends etc can also send your copyright info, this could (and has) result in someone then being able to contact you for usage rights, this has happened to me recently, resulting in one of my images being used on the front of a 2006 calendar.

I only remove EXIF if file size is an issue (some upload sites restrict it to silly amounts)

I dont have a problem with people seeing my shooting data, as mentioned every situation is different, therefore reproducing the results is unlikely.
"And how many people shoot manually these days?" I do, not every shot, but the majority.
