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.

My Brother in-law John passed 2 months ago on south of California while skiing and his girlfriend couldn’t wait nor genuinely grief with the family, she had access to John’s finances and took so many of his finances out by getting stuffs online for herself and her other boyfriend whose name is Max.
We found out about all these after the next of kin info and procedures has been fully processed and found the debits through the statements. We filled the missing links and discovered she was behind it. We found out she also withdrew from his crypto wallet to hers and she was a cheat.

As a victim, I was ripped off when I invested in cryptocurrencies because I got into the wrong hands and had $945,000 in BTC stolen from me. I was about to lose up after hearing that it couldn’t be found or recovered, but fortunately I came across an online post about a recovery specialist named SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM. I contacted him and did some work with them just to give it a try. I never thought it would be feasible, but to my greatest amazement, they were able to recover $850,860 of the money that was taken from me. I’ve decided to share this with anyone who might require such a service. Regarding BTC recovery, SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM provides an incredible service.
