== Darkcasts ==
“Darkcasts” are ranged communications that go outside of legal and approved channels. Since certain habitats have strict regulations on transmission content, forking, egocasting, infomorphs, muse abilities, and AGI code, underworld groups like the ID crew profit by offering illegal data transmission services. Primarily used for censored data and banned content (like illegal XPs or malware), local organized crime factions also often offer egocasting services complete with resleeving and leasable morphs, allowing egos that prefer discretion to enter or leave a habitat without drawing attention. Though such authorities hunt down these darkcast networks whenever they get a chance, many habitats have a sophisticated darkcast infrastructure that makes use of decoys, temporary communications lines, relays, and regular transmitter relocation—not to mention judicious bribing and blackmailing.
