Even easier:

sudo route add -net 216.52.17 127.0.0.1

This will cause all possible hosts within the 2o7.net network to be routed to your local machine, which will go nowhere, so you're protected against more than just 192.168.112.2o7.net.

Just turn off the Welcome panel (it isn’t the CS3 apps talking to Omniture; it’s the web content loaded into the Welcome window). No need to screw around with firewall settings etcetera.

Here’s another way of opting out of the 2o7.net scam that’s free and works for all apps. (Tested on OS X, I believe there’s a similar way of doing things on Windows too.)

[…] Mitcho.com points out that you can opt out of 2o7.net tracking, but only by setting a browser cookie, which won’t have any effect within apps like iTunes and Photoshop CS3. That site suggests a third-party solution for preventing apps from connecting to Omniture’s servers. But there is an easier way, at least on OS X. […]

Firefox is set to erase all cookies on exit, on all of our computers. So much for their method of opting out.

Just edited my host files.

smfr: Adobe said that CS3 uses an embedded Opera browser. BTW: I don’t think that Safari and iTunes store cookies in the same location on Windows.

Mitcho, the fact that you were referenced on DF reconfirms you as a hero.

All applications that use the networking APIs provided by Foundation, including those that embed WebKit, share the same cookie storage. So it may actually be that opting out of Omniture tracking by setting a cookie in Safari will affect other apps like iTunes. I don’t have CS3 to check whether it uses Foundation, but someone should test this theory. Note that Mozilla-based browsers (e.g. Firefox, Camino) do not share cookies between each other, or with other applications that embed the Gecko engine.

You can just nuke it with an entry in /etc/hosts, no?

How to really opt-out: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

(Mac users have to convert the Windows line breaks to Unix line breaks first - eg with the dos2unix tool).
