Creator finds copy of product on Amazon

It's the combined ideas of the Infinity Mirror, Pepper's Ghost, and the library scene. The combination is something that wasn't really done until her project.

Which however makes it hard to claim that this person copied her work, rather than taking inspiration and combining those same sources as she did. Given all the blatant copies that come out from (mainly) China she may be correct, but independent re-discoveries and re-invention happen all the time, so I don't think the case is as clear cut as she thinks.

After all, if the Sword of Shannara passed muster, IMO here we have enough differences to consider this a stand-alone product.

I struggle to comprehend how you can think they are not.

Yeah. I'd like to say maybe it's the difference between folk that think that copyright laws are important to incentivizing creation and investment, versus people that think that copyright is stifling and abused... But I don't think they put even that much thought into it.
