Just caught this off of Slashdot: Adobe Quietly Monitoring Software Use?

It seems CS3 users are being monitored. The article gives links and more details.

There are at least a couple of ways to stop any spying, Little Snitch blocking any communication being one.

But check out this thread, posts 3 and 4 , for another. I don't know whether the second method would include the other installed apps in the suite. I use only Photoshop.

As long as they don't monitor my productivity and email it to my boss, I don't care.
