A couple of days ago I found a business, that is situated in the US. They sell their products worldwide via their online shop, but they do not market their products in Europe and the shipping fees to Europe are very high or it takes a long time (around two weeks) to get the product (via Amazon.com).
I haven't done any due diligence about the market in Europe yet and I don't yet know, if there are already companies, that sell in that niche, (so I don't know yet, if it even makes sense to go at it) but a "what if" question came to my mind.
So now I am wondering, if it is ethical to copy the business idea/the products and bring them to the european market.
I mean, it is not going to be a one to one copy, as I already have ideas for other products and I wouldn't want to market the company the exact same way, but at the start it would be more or less a direct copy).
What is your opinion about that? Is it ethical to copy a business?
Thanks.
