My players are curious about not "working for the man." They possibly want to fight against the corps in sort of a Robin Hood fashion. I have come up with some really fun adventure ideas, but it seems like eventually the money would run out. I mean, who would be buying what they would steal from corps besides other corps?

There is little to nothing in the SR4 rulebook about Hacking funds. Is this possible? Or somehow creating secure credsticks. Could this be an extended test that a Hacker is always working on?

I have seen a little info on the "Radical Eco-Shaman" type character, but I wonder, is there any sort of Greenpeace/Adbusters type group that would fund anti-corp attacks? In a future world where urban life is dominated by the "Big Ten", is this style of play even possible without some organization catching on and wipe my players off the map? An Eco-Dragon Perhaps? I dunno, I just want to keep my PC players interested in the game, and still have plenty of things to spray with bullets and fireballs!
