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.

I lost $560K in a crypto scam investment, and for a while, I thought there was no way to get it back. The experience was devastating until I contacted Fastfund Recovery. Their team was professional, responsive, and highly skilled in tracing stolen assets. To my relief, they managed to recover my cryptocurrency in a timely manner. I’m beyond grateful for their help Fastfund Recovery turned what felt like a total loss into a success story.

The notification was a gut punch: my digital wallet, drained. 1.8 BTC and 12 ETH my life’s savings vanished into the blockchain’s immutable ledger. Immutable. The word haunted me. The police offered sympathy, not solutions. Desperate, I found Cyber Codex Revolution. Skeptical but out of options, I hired them. Their agent, a calm voice named Eli, explained their process wasn’t magic but “digital forensics meets algorithmic pursuit.” They deployed proprietary tracing software, mapping the thief’s path across the blockchain’s transparent labyrinth. Within 72 hours, they had a report: the funds were sitting in a seemingly anonymous exchange wallet. Cyber Codex leveraged their established relationships with global exchanges, presenting irrefutable proof of the theft. The freeze order was issued instantly. I watched, stunned, as my coins were returned to my secure, new wallet. The revolution wasn’t just in recovering the lost; it was in proving that even in the decentralized wild west, justice could be coded. Hire Cyber Codex. They are the guardians the digital age demands. Email: (Cybercodexrevolution@mail.com)

My name is Michele Gonzalez, and my journey from despair to redemption began when I lost $386,880 to a fake crypto investment platform. Lured by promises of high returns, I invested my life savings, only to see the website vanish overnight. Heartbroken, I sought help from online recovery firms. The first, CryptoSafe, demanded $6,000 upfront and disappeared. Another, BlockTrace, took $8,500 with fake progress reports. Three more scams drained $15,000, leaving me hopeless and ashamed. Years of hard work as a nurse were gone, and I faced a bleak future.Desperate, I scoured forums like Reddit’s r/cryptoscams. A post about Alpha Spy Nest, a team of cyber forensic experts, caught my eye. Their site, alphaspynest.org, detailed success stories, but I was skeptical after my betrayals. With nothing to lose, I emailed at alphaspynest@mail.com. Their response was prompt and professional, asking for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and scam details. Unlike others, which eased my fears. Alpha Spy Nest’s team, blockchain analysts and cyber investigators, sprang into action. They used advanced forensic tools to trace my funds through complex blockchain transactions, navigating mixers and anonymous wallets. They kept me updated: We’ve identified a lead wallet. Their expertise shone as they collaborated with law enforcement and exchanges to freeze suspect accounts. After weeks of relentless work, negotiating with the platform, they secured a breakthrough. One morning, I received their email. Funds recovered. Tears streamed as I saw $350,000 back in my secure wallet. Alpha Spy Nest restored not just my money but my hope. Their transparency and skill turned my nightmare into triumph. They gave me my life back. Their expertise, from blockchain analysis to legal coordination, turned my nightmare into a miracle. I’m forever grateful to them. If you’re scammed, skip the fakes. Contact Alpha Spy Nest or WhatsApp +15132924878. They’re the real deal.
