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 charity organization popped up on my screen as an ad. They had a professional-looking website, emotional stories, and testimonials from supposed donors. They had pictures of their representatives with A-list actors, celebrities, and philanthropists as donors; unfortunately, they were edited. I read about their services and outreach, and I was motivated to give a token as a widow with no children or close family relatives. They claimed the funds sourced were being used to support families in need, communities affected by natural disasters, and spreading the gospel of Jesus, which touched me because I am a deep-rooted Christian lady. I inquired how I can donate, and I was guided to a site where I can register as a member, where their donors are updated about their outreaches. I registered, but unfortunately, my information was used to hack my private wallet, and my whole crypto was wiped. I really didn’t know how they did it before I woke up. A whopping 13 BTC was cleared out of my wallet. I was heartbroken; all I wanted to do was give my own quota of making the world a better place. That’s when I found META TECH RECOVERY PRO. I wasn’t sure anyone could do anything about it, but they immediately reassured me that they had dealt with similar cases. They were kind, understanding, and professional right from the start. I handed over everything I had: emails, wallet address, and the fraudulent website links. They investigated quickly and explained to me how the scammers operated. What impressed me most was how transparent they were; I always knew what was happening at each stage. After endless efforts and trials of different strategies initiated, I got the call I never expected: META TECH RECOVERY PRO had successfully traced and recovered a large portion of the money I lost. I couldn’t believe it. I went from feeling helpless and foolish to finally breathing again, knowing I had some justice. Thanks to them, not only did I recover my funds, but I also learned to be much more cautious online. They reminded me that falling victim doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means scammers are manipulative and anyone can be tricked. If you’ve ever lost money to a fake charity or any scam, please know that you’re not alone. And with professionals like META TECH RECOVERY PRO, there is real hope of getting your money back.

Thank you.
I was rescued from my unfaithful husband by the Wizard James Recovery Group of Hackers. My spouse has been using my money to support his family outside of our marriage. His frequent requests for money, which he was using to support his family, and his secret late calls eventually made me suspect. I was so frustrated that I had to look for a hacker to spy on his phone, and to my amazement, this group confirmed my suspicions. The address of his other family, where he was spending some quality time while I was at work, was among the proof of his messages and calls that the hackers had. Contact them via WhatsApp at +44 7418 367204 or Mail at Wizardjamesrecovery @ usa . com, if you require such services.
