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.

A few months ago, I fell victim to what I believed was a legitimate crypto investment opportunity. The platform looked polished, the “advisors” seemed professional, and everything felt convincing. Over time, I invested a total of $138,000 savings I had built over many years. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the platform stalled, made excuses, and eventually went completely silent. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. At first, I was overwhelmed with regret and shame. I reported the incident to local authorities, but was told these cases are often hard to trace, especially with crypto being decentralized and scammers operating overseas. Still, I wasn’t ready to give up. That’s when I found Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical at first after all, I had already been scammed once. But what stood out was that they didn’t promise miracles or ask for money upfront. They explained the process clearly tracing blockchain transactions, identifying where the funds were moved, and working with legal partners and enforcement contacts where possible. The process took time and a lot of patience. There were points where I doubted anything would come of it. But slowly, progress became visible. They traced the wallet movements, found patterns, and eventually coordinated with a third party compliance entity that helped freeze part of the assets. To my surprise and immense relief I was able to recover the full $138,000. It didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t easy, but it did happen. I’m sharing this not to promote anyone, but because I know how isolating and hopeless it feels to be scammed like this. There are professionals out there who know what they’re doing. You just have to be cautious, ask the right questions, and move forward carefully. I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with Malice Cyber Recovery they helped turn what felt like a dead end into a second chance.

Company Review: Cloudstrike Cyber Services
Losing £250,000 to a Bitcoin investment scam was something I never imagined could happen to me — until it did. Like many others, I fell victim to a scheme that seemed too good to be true. I came across an advertisement on Facebook promising exceptionally high returns on cryptocurrency investments. Initially, everything appeared legitimate. The platform looked professional, deposits were processed smoothly, and I received convincing updates on my “growing” investment.
However, things took a dark turn when I attempted to withdraw my funds. Every withdrawal failed, and repeated contact with customer service led nowhere. That was when the reality sank in — I had been scammed. The emotional toll was immense; I had lost what felt like a lifetime’s worth of hard work.
Devastated, I confided in a close friend who recommended Cloudstrike Cyber Services— a company known for its professionalism and expertise in cybercrime recovery. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out to them. To my surprise, their team was not only responsive but deeply knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the process.
Through their efforts, Cloudstrike was able to recover £238,000of the stolen funds. While I didn’t recover the full amount, I was incredibly grateful and relieved to reclaim the majority of what I had lost. Their transparency, ethical approach, and relentless work truly made a difference during one of the darkest moments of my life.
If you’ve been in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Cloudstrike Cyber Services via their E-mail at (Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)
