When Apple copied from Xerox PARC, was the UI part of an already successful, profitable mass-market product? No, they stole a research idea and ran with it (though it's just as likely to have been patented). But when Apple has a successful product that everyone is buying, and Samsung makes a product that looks and acts like it, I think they were definitely trying to cause confusion and take market share. If you fly to Europe with a fake Rolex and get caught (they do have customs officers trained to look for and detect fakes), they don't just confiscate the fake or turn you away, you get prosecuted. Morally, I'm not sure why that should apply to luxury goods and not anything with a distinctive look and feel.
