If you distribute files online or work multiple people it comes in handy. From a designers perspective if you are working on a project and get a couple of eps and illustrator files, it is easy to contact the original illustrator if you have questions. The artwork you get from a client always seem to be two or three times removed from the original artist, and trying to go back the chain through the client isn't always the more productive task. From a Illustrator perspective, you safe guard you files somewhat from copyright infringement. This won't always help someone that is determined to take your work, but it is a start. Grant,
