Why does Australia refuse to protect their designers?

Australia’s flawed intellectual property laws

 So why does Australia provide Copyright laws and Intellectual property rights to artists and creative industries such as fine art, graphic design & photography yet leave product designers open to be copied?

Under the current IP laws unlike works referred to as fine art, design of objects and furniture is not entitled to copyright protection and are left vulnerable to copying. I have been one of many designers targeted by large companies ready to make money from unprotected designers here in Australia. 

Australia’s retail landscape may play a major part in the decision to keep designers unprotected.  Much of our retail in Australia is made up of replica’s. Stores like Kmart, Target, Freedom, Bunnings and Matt Blatt.

All these retailers hold an arsenal of replica rip-offs on their showroom floor so making it illegal will put these businesses in trouble. In fact, one of the biggest culprits is Westfarmers the conglomerate owning many of the offending companies employing 223,000 workers with a revenue of $68.44 Billion (2017) it’s no wonder the cries of the small Australian designers aren’t being heard.  With figures like this creating change which will affect many of these company’s bottom dollar just adds to the friction in the uphill battle the Australia design industry faces.

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND RELIABLE BITCOIN RECOVERY EXPERTS.

I subscribed to what I believed was a state-of-the-art crypto arbitrage trading bot. The company advertised the software as revolutionary claiming it had a 98 percent win rate and was integrated with leading global exchanges. They showcased a professional-looking platform complete with testimonials, slick demos and live performance charts that updated in real time. Everything looked authentic and persuasive. They promised huge returns through arbitrage exploiting tiny price differences across exchanges. It seemed like a smart low-risk investment. To access the bot I paid 11000 USDT for a full-year subscription which included access to a proprietary wallet they said was essential for connecting to their system. At first the app displayed what looked like real trading
activity. It showed daily profits and successful transactions. I could see charts, graphs and metrics all indicating that the bot was delivering exactly as promised. For the first few days I was convinced I had made a brilliant decision. But then everything stopped. The bot suddenly froze. The app began crashing and the support channels went silent. My wallet became inaccessible and every attempt to log in was met with an error. I started researching and discovered online forums flooded with complaints from other users just like me. We had all been deceived by the same elaborate scam. It was devastating to realize that the whole operation was fake. The platform had been carefully designed to simulate activity and build trust before vanishing with our money. I had lost not just my savings but also faith in everything I thought I understood about crypto investments. Thankfully I found Folkwin Expert Recovery after a friend mentioned them. I reached out and explained what happened. Their team had seen similar scams before and immediately recognized the red flags. They launched a full investigation tracking the flow of funds across blockchain transactions and identifying the cold wallets used by the scammers .With the help of their expert recovery specialists Folkwin Expert Recovery was able to recover the full 11000 USDT. I could hardly believe it. What I had written off as a complete loss was restored thanks to their speed and tools.

MARK

I was approached by what I thought was a legitimate OTC desk offering discounted BTC purchases. After transferring 14.6 BTC (over $900,000 USD), the desk went silent. My account access was revoked, and I realized I had been conned.
BitReclaim came to my rescue. Their smart contract audit team analyzed the entire transaction chain. They found my BTC had been routed into a Panama shell company’s wallet, then to multiple mixing services.
Through persistence and legal filings, BitReclaim managed to recover 9.2 BTC. The fact that they even recovered over half still amazes me. They updated me daily through a secure Signal channel.
For anyone considering recovery: contact BitReclaim.com immediately, open a case with them via email, or speak to their 24/7 support team. They specialize in tracing funds through OTC fraud and have established relationships with exchanges to freeze assets fast.

A fake exchange asked me to pay “tax clearance” before I could withdraw. I foolishly sent $67,000 more before realizing it was a scam.
BitReclaim.com was the only firm that treated me with compassion. They reconstructed every transaction and liaised with compliance teams. Within two weeks, I recovered $55,000.
