Merch by Amazon is essentially the same as those stuff like Zazzle, cafepress and share many similar traits like teespring etc.
The only difference is the Amazon traffic, but it's not a sustainable business in the long run. And the print on demand quality is usually poor.
Out of the 5 commandments, I think only Time is not violated.
How complex will your designs be, or will they be just text which people can copy in 3 mins in Photoshop?
When you sell merch by Amazon, people don't remember you, they remember Amazon. They type amazon.com into the browser address bar when they want to buy merch, not chosenone.com.
The profit margins are poor.
Btw, you seem to be chasing money.

how long a design can sell without being copied (so I can calculate estimated RoI)?

- Will Amazon protect my brand (so I can build such or it's just follow the trend and the fastest win)?
