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.

Earlier this year, I lost $90,000 to a crypto investment scam. At first, it felt like a dream opportunity smooth talking “advisors,” polished platforms, and fake testimonials that made everything seem legitimate. I didn’t think I was the type to fall for something like that. But I did. And when the platform suddenly disappeared, so did all of my money. The days that followed were some of the hardest I’ve ever experienced. I felt ashamed, angry, and helpless. I reported the fraud, but everywhere I turned, I was told the same thing: crypto transactions are almost impossible to reverse. I started to accept that the money my savings, years of work was just gone. Then I came across Malice Cyber Recovery. I wasn’t optimistic, but I reached out anyway. They didn’t promise miracles, which I appreciated. Instead, they helped me piece together what happened transaction records, communications, and technical details I would’ve never gathered on my own. The process was slow and honestly exhausting at times, but they stayed with it. Months later, I got the message I never thought I would: a significant portion of the funds had been traced and recovered. I cried. It wasn’t just about the money it was about getting a piece of my life back, and proving to myself that I wasn’t completely powerless. I’m still more cautious than ever, and I’ll never look at online investments the same way. But I’m thankful I didn’t give up and even more thankful that someone out there knew how to help when I couldn’t help myself.
