I think the problem exists when a normal person, presented with the 2 tablets side by side, can't tell the difference between them. For example, if you took an expensive Coach designer purse, and a knock off product and put them side by side in front of a judge, and the judge couldn't tell the difference, shouldn't sale of the knock off product be banned? We all agree that for expensive designer products, the looks are protected by intellectual property laws. I don't see why it should be any different for Apple's products. A lot of people buy them for the design and looks. I'm not saying you should buy your computer or tablet based on how cool it looks, but that is part of Apple's brand image and a product which your average consumer can't tell apart from the premium brand does cross a line.
