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’s disheartening to see the increasing rate of online theft targeting digital assets, which is causing potential investors to hesitate in embracing this lucrative investment opportunity. I personally experienced a loss of USD274,000 when I fell victim to a Pocket Options Broker I met online. They enticed me with the promise of substantial returns on my investment, but when I tried to access the investment website after a few weeks, I was denied entry. Despite my attempts to contact their support team, I realized I had been scammed.
Desperate to recover my funds, I turned to the internet for solutions and came across Refund Policy Services .Their reputation for providing top-notch recovery services caught my attention. Taking a leap of faith, I reached out to him and his team and to my surprise, within 48 hours, they successfully helped me retrieve all my lost funds. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for this exceptional service.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly urge you to contact them on :: Refunddpolici (@) gmail (DOT ) com and WhatsApp also: +1 (972) 998‑2755 for outstanding recovery assistance .

I was devastated and traumatized when I lost access to my phone in early January of this year after accessing an unknown website that appeared on my screen as an advertisement. I was quite concerned since my email account, which contains a lot of personal information including bank passcodes, had been compromised. I was able to get access restored thanks to Sean’s recovery after speaking with him, telling him about my experience, and giving him the information he needed for rapid solution in a matter of hours. Since I couldn’t access my email following our first session, I must admit that I was initially dubious about this process. However, Sean persisted in reassuring me that I would soon be able to retrieve it, and eventually I gained access. I hope to never go through the same experience again but if I do, I will not hesitate to use his service again. His personal contact is sean_recovery@cyber-wizard.com
