I think your misunderstanding the point I'm trying to make. If you want to manufacture a copycat design but dont want to receive any criticsism for your copycat design, then go about your business in private and not in a public forum.


Otherwise, expect and accept criticism.


I have always said in each of one of my posts on this topic that this criticism should be done in a civil and respectful way. 


Have you considered that plagiarism is one of the most disrespectful and uncivil things that you can do when it comes to product design?  We talk about not allowing uncivil and disrespectful behaviour, but this is a form of it.
