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 website that offered Bitcoin investments conned me. They offered me nasty requests and rejected all of my withdrawal requests. They deceived me into investing with the promise that I would profit, which made it a very difficult period for me. They stole all of my money, and I stopped communicating with them. Just last month, Wizard Larry Recovery helped me get back all the money I had lost. After I received all of my money back, I paid a service charge of 10% of the restored funds. I am aware that many individuals here are in need of assistance after being defrauded.

I thought I had found a genuine connection when I began talking to someone online. He was kind, caring, and unbelievably trustworthy. As the weeks progressed, our conversations became deeper, and I lowered my defenses. He talked passionately about our future together and convinced me to send him some money for “emergency expenses”. At the time I thought nothing of it since I trusted him. After transferring funds totaling several thousand dollars, his profile suddenly went dark. And the phone number I had called over and over was now disconnected. I felt devastated. Not only had I lost a large amount of money, but I felt emotionally drained. The feelings of betrayal were all-consuming, I was questioning my own gut feeling. When I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, my first response was skepticism. I had already been hurt and developed an application around trusting again. However, Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and listened to me with compassion. There were no promises or hair-brained ideas, just a straightforward explanation of the process. Their patience and transparency became an underlying comfort during a time when everything else was falling apart. The team worked extremely hard and kept me informed at every process along the way. They spoke in layman’s terms and explained the technical details in a thoughtful approach. They never dismissed my fears. To my absolute amazement, a few weeks later, I received the news that more than half of my stolen funds had been recovered and returned to me. I had resigned myself to the disappearance of my funds, and Digital Tech Guard Recovery proved me wrong. I not only found some amount of financial relief, but I gained back the more valuable gift of trusting myself again. I learned that not all online service experiences have been bad. you can reach to them on WhatsApp: +14438592886
