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.

QUICK AND RELIABLE SOLUTIONS TO RECOVER LOST ASSET WITH DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
After a major earthquake struck a neighboring country I wanted to help in any way I could. I was overwhelmed by the news of the devastation and wanted to make a difference. While scrolling through social media, I came across a verified-looking tweet from a well-known influencer. The message was clear Help those affected by the disaster by donating via USDT to this address. The tweet had thousands of likes and retweets and the influencer was known for their charity work. It seemed legitimate so I immediately made the decision to send 176,500 USDT.I felt a sense of pride in my action. My donation was going to those who needed it most, and I believed I was part of something meaningful. Little did I know, this would soon turn into a nightmare. A few days later I saw alarming news online: multiple accounts were reporting that the influencer’s social media had been hacked. The scam was far worse than I had initially realized other well meaning people had been tricked into donating as well, and millions of dollars had been stolen. The USDT address posted on their account had been part of the scam, and the funds were quickly moved to a wallet outside of reach. I was in complete shock. My stomach dropped as I realized that the 176,500 USDT I had sent was gone likely forever. I felt betrayed, embarrassed, and helpless. I’d always been cautious with my crypto transactions, but this situation was a stark reminder of how even the most trustworthy seeming individuals could be compromised. I spent days trying to find a way to recover my funds, but it seemed hopeless. It wasn’t until I told a colleague about my situation that I learned about Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
