I would imagine that the deveoping corp would have to apply for
permission to sell to Jow Public but that they could foist just about
any damn thing they like on their "corporate citizens" CP2020 had a
recurring theme of the megas pumping the streets full of experimental
drugs tro save on the R&D costs. Anyobe played any games of this

CP? or was that a Plastic Warriors effort?
