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.

Life hasn’t been easy but I’ve done everything I can to raise my two boys right after losing my wife. Being a single dad is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’ve taken it one day at a time determined to give them a good life. After years of focusing only on them I finally felt ready to put myself out there again and try dating. I joined a dating app and quickly connected with a woman who seemed thoughtful, sincere and financially intelligent. She told me she was involved in Bitcoin trading and had done well for herself. More than that she said she wanted to help me build a better future for my kids. I’ll admit I was touched. She said all the right things. Over the next few weeks we talked constantly. She never pushed just encouraged me and gave small pieces of financial advice. Eventually she told me about a private trading pool her team used. It was supposedly low risk with high return. She even showed me screenshots of her growing profits. I wanted to believe her. I wanted to believe in something again. So I did it. I transferred 2 Bitcoin to the Wallet address she gave me. The next morning she disappeared. Her profile was gone. All of our messages deleted. My Bitcoin was gone too. I felt absolutely crushed. For days I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for falling for it. I didn’t even want to tell anyone what had happened until a coworker noticed I wasn’t myself. When I finally told him he said one name GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. I contacted GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE without much hope but they surprised me. From the first call they treated me with respect and urgency. Their Investigators traced the scammer’s Wallet and they froze assets. Two weeks later they recovered 1.3 BTC. No it wasn’t everything. But it was enough to restore my faith. More importantly, someone fought for me. I wasn’t just another online victim, I was a father trying to do the right thing. I didn’t find love. But I found justice and a way forward for my boys.I’ll always be grateful.You can reach them on whatsapp+18582759508 web at ( https://graywaretechservice.com/ ) also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservice.com

Running a boutique design studio in California has always been an exhilarating and rewarding endeavor. Recently I decided to modernize my payment options by accepting cryptocurrency to provide clients with greater flexibility and embrace the digital future. Things were progressing seamlessly until a new client proposed to pay through what they described as a faster and more secure payment processor. They even shared a sleek professional looking link which gave me confidence to proceed. I clicked the link registered an account and was promptly greeted by a confirmation indicating a $60,000 payment for the project. At first I was ecstatic but that elation quickly gave way to dread when the funds never appeared in my wallet. To my horror I realized my own assets had been siphoned off after unknowingly signing a malicious smart contract cleverly concealed within the process. It felt as though everything I had painstakingly built was unraveling my studio’s financial stability, my professional reputation and my personal sense of security all hanging in the balance. I reached out to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY. Their team immediately identified the sophisticated nature of the scam and sprang into action. Using advanced blockchain forensic techniques they meticulously traced the fraudulent transactions and took legal measures to freeze the scammer’s exchange account. The seamless combination of their technical skill and legal expertise was remarkable. Thanks to their expert intervention RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY successfully reversed the unauthorized transactions and recovered $44,000 of my stolen funds. While not a full restitution their unwavering support and guidance on securing my digital assets have been invaluable. Thanks to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY my California design studio is back on solid footing.
