 I haven't spent much time thinking about replicas and really appreciate this thread.

Even in this case, wouldn't the original manufacturer who put the work and resources into their design still have a valid gripe?  Whether I am a well known brand or a smaller company trying to make a mark..... If it's being manufactured and sold with my name on it and it's my design... aren't the motives of the buyer really irrelevant?
