I think those Capones even killed the developer of what they copied 
their DOS from. The Capones were afraid he'll one day, this time 
successfully, sue them when court of law will get better adjusted to new 
tech realities.

But, when there are Capones around you, and yes they're all around you, 
you can begin outsmarting them. Capones feed on the Sheep. If you're not 
Sheep, you can outsmart them cause a "Capone" by definition has funny 
weak points too. Weak points that healthy human beings don't have.
