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.

It was a peaceful Friday evening. I was seated beside my parents during our church session, soaking in the comforting message of hope and resilience. The sermon had a calming effect on me and I left feeling spiritually uplifted. At that moment I had no idea how drastically my night was about to change. As we pulled into our driveway my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number but something told me to pick it up. The voice on the other end was cold and assertive. They claimed to be an IRS agent and said I was under investigation for unpaid taxes. According to him I owed 3.5 BTC and needed to pay it immediately or face arrest. My heart started pounding. I had never been in any kind of legal trouble before and the fear took over. The threats were intense and I felt cornered. Without thinking it through I did what he asked. I transferred the Bitcoin, terrified of the consequences if I didn’t. The moment the payment went through dread swept over me like a tidal wave. I sat there frozen realizing I had just made a terrible mistake. I told my parents what had happened and they were devastated. They urged me to report it but I felt too ashamed and too lost. I spent the rest of the night searching online for anything that could help and that’s when I found GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. Their website said they specialized in recovering Stolen cryptocurrency. At first I wasn’t sure anyone could help but I reached out anyway. To my surprise they responded right away. The team was incredibly understanding and told me scams like this were sadly becoming more common. They launched an investigation immediately. They traced the Bitcoin I had sent and discovered it had been transferred into a Coinbase institutional account. From there they worked tirelessly gathering evidence preparing legal documentation and filing emergency court petitions. I couldn’t believe how quickly they moved. Less than a week later I got a call I’ll never forget. They had recovered 2.1 BTC. That scam nearly broke me but GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE helped me regain more than just my funds. I’ll always be Grateful to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE for standing by me when I needed it most.

My Bitcoin Recovery Experience with Cloudstrike Cybersecurity

A few weeks ago, I made what I thought was an irreversible mistake — I accidentally sent about $117,000 worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address. It was supposed to be used for a major purchase, but one typo changed everything. The moment I hit “send” and realized what had happened, my heart sank. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart. That money was everything I had.

Like many people, I’d always heard that crypto transactions are final and basically impossible to recover. I started reading forums, asking around, and all I saw were messages telling me there was nothing I could do. It felt hopeless.

Then I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cybersecurity . I’ll admit — I was skeptical at first. It just sounded too good to be true, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I contacted them through their email[Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. They asked for all the relevant transaction details — the wallet address I sent the Bitcoin from, the one I sent it to, the transaction ID, and a few other things. I sent it all over, still unsure if anything would come of it.

But within 48 hours, they got back to me with incredible news: they had tracked down the transaction and recovered my funds. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had to reread the email a few times to let it sink in. They guided me step by step and transferred the recovered Bitcoin back to my wallet. I was in shock — and honestly, beyond grateful.

I never thought recovery like this was even possible, but Cloudstrike Cybersecurity proved me wrong. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly saved me.

How I Lost $135,000 in Crypto—and Recovered It

I never imagined I’d lose $135,000 in USDT with one small mistake. But that’s exactly what happened when I accidentally sent the funds to the wrong wallet address—one with no history, no identity, and no way to reach.

The moment I realized it, I felt sick. I refreshed the transaction over and over, hoping it was a mistake. It wasn’t. The money was gone, and every crypto user knows the rule that blockchain transactions can’t be reversed.

I fell into despair. It felt like the end of everything I had worked for. And then, I was introduced to a cybersecurity firm called SPYHOST.

Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. What followed blew me away. Their team was professional, calm, and impressively equipped. They didn’t promise miracles, but they took action. Using advanced tools and forensic techniques, they tracked the funds, traced the wallet activity, and within 48 hours, my crypto was fully recovered.

I never thought recovery in crypto was possible until it happened to me. SPYHOST didn’t just bring back my funds; they gave me peace, clarity, and a second chance.
