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.

A Tale of Redemption: How Cyber Codex Revolution Recovered My Lost Cryptocurrency.

In the summer of 2024, I Elizabeth  Hugo faced a nightmare that many crypto investors dread. I had invested $150,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, meticulously building my portfolio over years. One fateful day, a phishing email tricked me into revealing my wallet credentials. Overnight, my digital assets—$100,000 in Bitcoin and $50,000 in Ethereum—vanished. The platform I’d used was a scam, and my funds were siphoned into the dark corners of the blockchain. Devastated, I scoured forums and legal avenues, but hope seemed lost.Then, I stumbled upon Cyber Codex Revolution, a blockchain forensic firm renowned for recovering stolen crypto. Skeptical yet desperate, I contacted them via their website, sharing my transaction details. Their response was swift and professional. A specialist named Clara explained their process: they’d use advanced blockchain tracking to trace my funds and employ legal and technical strategies to retrieve them. Within days, their team of expert hackers and investigators began analyzing the scam’s digital footprint. Using cutting-edge tools, they traced my Bitcoin and Ethereum through a maze of wallets, uncovering the fraudsters’ tactics. Clara updated me regularly, explaining how they identified a weak point in a decentralized exchange where my funds had been transferred. Cyber Codex executed a smart contract exploit to freeze the assets, preventing further movement. The recovery process wasn’t instant—it took three weeks of relentless effort. They collaborated with international law enforcement, leveraging legal pressure to negotiate with the exchange. Finally, Clara called with the news I’d dreamed of: they’d recovered 90% of my assets—$135,000 worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum—safely transferred to a new, secure wallet.Cyber Codex Revolution didn’t just restore my crypto; they restored my faith in justice. Their expertise and dedication turned my despair into triumph, proving that even in the decentralized world, hope can prevail.

There are legitimate and honest recovery agents out there who are of high quality. I regret that no one else experienced the Bitcoin investment swindle like I did. Being broken is not a sign of weakness, therefore what matters is the oddity within you. I lost everything I owned in five days as a result of falling for a Bitcoin scam. I was tricked by someone posing as a Bitcoin investor and trader, and after I had deposited nearly a million dollars into this fraudulent exchange, I was unable to withdraw my money, and all of my correspondence with this alleged trader was compromised. Before a friend of mine recommended WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY COMPANY, a recovery agency that assisted me in getting back all of my stolen money, I thought I was going to die. They retrieved everything in less than 72 hours, which made me believe it was impossible. The speed and simplicity of the process amazed me, and I can personally vouch for the fact that WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY COMPANY is a group of tenacious, dependable, and trustworthy bitcoin and data recovery professionals. If you have any reason to contact them, you can use this information: (Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com); WhatsApp: (+447418367204) They truly know their subject and are very helpful! Never be afraid to ask for assistance.

After months of hopeless despair and emotional exhaustion, I finally saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to Alpha Spy Nest, the team that helped me recover my lost life savings of €842,000. My nightmare began when I invested in what seemed to be a promising crypto trading platform. The website was sleek, the representatives were articulate, and the returns initially looked genuine. But slowly, the red flags started appearing. Withdrawal delays, repeated requests for more security deposits, and eventually, total silence. I realized too late I had been scammed. Desperate to retrieve my funds, I fell into a deeper trap, the world of fake online recovery agents. These so-called experts promised to retrieve my money for upfront fees and blockchain tracing charges. One after the other, they vanished after taking more of my money, deepening my losses and leaving me emotionally shattered.I was on the verge of giving up when a forums thread mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a team specializing in cyber forensic investigations and crypto scam recovery. Skeptical and emotionally numb, I contacted them as a last resort. What stood out immediately was their professionalism. They carefully listened to my case, reviewed all the documents, transaction hashes, and communication logs I had compiled over the months. Their team used advanced blockchain tracing techniques and coordinated with relevant crypto exchanges and legal authorities. I was kept in the loop every step of the way, with regular updates that gave me a renewed sense of hope. Days passed, and then I received the message I never thought I’d see, part of my funds had been successfully frozen. Over the next few days, through a series of legal procedures and digital tracing, a total of €782,000 was recovered into my secure wallet. I broke down in tears. After endless months of being deceived and manipulated, Alpha Spy Nest not only brought back my money but they restored my faith. website:www.alphaspynest.org
