I chose Amazon and a bag design as the example specifically because it’s a real story (although not a rucksack, I misremembered that part)

Potential revenue isn’t, but intellectual property is. At least in most current legal systems, it is

I don’t think that that’s necessarily true. Let’s say someone designs a rucksack because they find the existing options on the market uncomfortable. They produce them on a small scale and they get fairly popular. Then Amazon sees it, copies it, mass produces it for less than the original designer could, and makes sure that any time someone searches for a rucksack on Amazon their version appears first in the list. I think it’s reasonable to say that the original designer lost something there

That doesn’t mean copyright can’t be or isn’t abused, of course
