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.

SUPPORT GROUP FOR CYPTO FRAUD VICTIMS – FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER
Cryptocurrency has revolutionized finance, drawing both eager investors and cunning scammers. I encountered one such scam through a fraudulent website, Coexus Pro, which epitomized the darker side of this digital landscape. The site promised lucrative daily returns through an “arbitrage trading crypto bot” and cleverly mimicked the branding of a trusted cryptocurrency exchange, fostering a false sense of security. Enticed by the prospect of a consistent 1% daily return, I invested a substantial amount, hoping to capitalize on this seemingly golden opportunity. Initially, the platform performed as promised: returns appeared in my account, and I successfully withdrew funds without issues. This early success bolstered my confidence, convincing me I had made a savvy investment. However, my optimism was short-lived. When I attempted another withdrawal, I was informed that my account balance had fallen below a supposed “liquidity requirement,” necessitating an additional deposit. Trusting their explanation, I complied, believing it was a minor setback. Yet, when I tried to withdraw again, I was met with a new excuse: “blockchain congestion,” which they claimed would delay my funds for 24 days. As days stretched into weeks, my anxiety grew. After 50 days, I contacted their support team, only to face another demand—a 15% fee for “technical support” from a fictitious “Federal Reserve blockchain regulator.” The realization hit me: I had been ensnared by a sophisticated scam. The website soon vanished, replaced by a nearly identical one, continuing the deception. Desperate for answers, I turned to social media and found a review from another victim who had endured a similar ordeal. They praised Digital Tech Guard Recovery for recovering their funds. Inspired, I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery, whose cybersecurity expertise offered hope. While awaiting their response, I vowed to stay vigilant to avoid future scams in the volatile crypto world. Ultimately, their efforts paid off, and I recovered my funds, underscoring the value of diligence and seeking professional help in the face of fraud.

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)

From Despair to Triumph: How SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY Helped Me Recover $300K in Bitcoin
In the depths of what felt like my darkest hour, I’m thrilled to finally share a story I never thought I’d be able to tell—a story of loss, hope, and a miraculous recovery that still feels surreal.
I had accidentally sent $300,000 worth of Bitcoin to a wrong wallet address. One small mistake… and just like that, my entire savings vanished into the blockchain abyss. Panic set in. Sleepless nights followed. I thought it was gone forever.
But just when I was ready to give up, a glimmer of hope appeared. My uncle, a tech savvy and calm under pressure recommended I reach out to SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY. At first, I was skeptical. I’d heard horror stories about crypto recovery scams. But after researching their background and seeing real success stories, I decided to take a leap of faith.
And that leap changed everything.
The team at SPYHOST moved swiftly and professionally, guiding me through every step. Within a short time, they had done what I thought was impossible: They recovered every single satoshi of my lost Bitcoin.
I was stunned. Grateful beyond words. And above all, reminded that not all hope is lost—even in the wild world of crypto.
If you’re facing a similar nightmare—don’t give up. Don’t panic. And most importantly, don’t trust just anyone. But if you’re looking for real help from a team that delivers, I strongly recommend contacting SPYHOST directly via [Spyhost@cyberdude.com]
Your story doesn’t have to end in loss. Sometimes, the right help can turn a crisis into a comeback.
