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 was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting {rickatmcardoffer@gmail. com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw EUR 10,000 instant per day & was credited with EUR 50,000,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are Germany and USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

My name is Desire Moreau, I’m 42 years old and I live in Lyon, France. In late 2024, like many others, I wanted to secure my family’s future and I fell into the trap of a fake cryptocurrency investment group on Telegram. It started innocently, a woman named Claire added me to a private group called Omega Signals VIP. They posted daily proof of 15-30 % weekly returns, screenshots of luxury lifestyles, and live trading sessions. The admin claimed to be a former Goldman Sachs trader based in Singapore. Within weeks I felt I knew everyone in the group. They were kind, patient, and celebrated every time someone posted a withdrawal receipt (which were all fake). I started with €5,000, then added €18,000, then €37,000 more, almost all my life savings plus money I borrowed from my sister. In three months I had transferred €87,400 to various wallets they provided. When I finally asked to withdraw €120,000 of profit, the excuses began, tax fees, wallet upgrade, compliance hold. Then the group disappeared and my contacts blocked me. I was devastated, ashamed, and couldn’t sleep. I filed reports with the police and Action Fraude, but they said recovery was almost impossible. For weeks I searched online every night and discovered Alpha Spy Nest, a forensic digital investigations team specializing in cryptocurrency scams. I sent them a desperate email at 3 a.m. Within 24 hours, they replied. They asked for all chat exports, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and screenshots. Their fee was reasonable and success-based. For the first time someone explained exactly what had happened, it was a classic pig butchering scheme run by a criminal syndicate in South-East Asia. For six weeks their blockchain analysts traced every USDT and ETH transaction through mixers, exchanges, and OTC desks. They built an airtight forensic report and worked with French cybercrime units and international partners. In September 2025, €72,300 was frozen in a Binance account belonging to one of the money mules. Thanks to Alpha Spy Nest’s evidence and relentless follow-up, the funds were released and returned to me in October, minus their agreed fee. I lost €15,000 forever, but I got back most of my money when everyone said it was gone forever. More importantly, I regained hope and dignity. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover funds, they gave me back my life. If you’ve been scammed on Telegram or anywhere else, don’t give up, contact real forensic experts like Alpha Spy Nest, via: (www.alphaspynest.org).They are the reason I can look my children in the eyes again.
