Of course not, but it's still their product/art/design that's being ripped off. Even sales aside, and from a design standpoint, having ripoffs sold of your product is infringment of patents and their hard work.
I don't see it as any differnent from ripping off music, artwork or literature or anything else.
What is there was a site like ebay, that sold fake recordings of famous copyrighted songs, sang by different people. Would an artist be rediculous for suing them when they hear Joe Shmoe singing their song and selling it for profit?
