If someone wants to steal your photo they can strip the EXIF etc, themselves. That's a real false sense of security.
I honestly don't give much thought to that concern anymore. What can they do with my image? I have the original RAW file if there's a dispute. I've never had a problem with piracy in the 35 years I've been shooting for a living.
I would be honoured to find that some kid liked my work so much that they pretended they took the shot. Good luck to them.
Why should I let the 0.001% possible image gangster get in my way.
I would hope that I can trust my clients with proofs.

If you do this, however, all your IPTC and EXIF info is stripped out
and your image runs the risk of falling into the orphan works
category which is not worth the risk, in my opinion. Alternatively,
if your file is so huge that you really have to strip that info out,
your filename really needs to have the standard copyright signifiers
in it.
