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 never thought I’d fall for a crypto scam. I considered myself careful and tech savvy I did research, joined online trading groups, and thought I could spot a fake from a mile away. But when I came across this investment platform that promised steady returns and even had “verified” traders showing off profits, I got hooked. At first, everything looked real. I started small, made some profit, and when I tried to withdraw, it worked. That’s what built my trust. Over time, I invested more until I had put in almost $120,000. Then, one day, my login stopped working. The support email bounced back. The Telegram group vanished. Just like that, my entire investment was gone. I can’t even describe how it felt. I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself every single day. It wasn’t just the money it was the shame, the helplessness. Friends didn’t know what to say, and I honestly started believing there was no way to ever get it back. Then someone mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery in a crypto victims forum. At first, I thought it was just another false hope, but something about their communication felt different. They didn’t promise miracles they explained what they could realistically do, step by step. From the first call, they treated me like a person, not a case number. They analyzed the wallet transactions, traced the crypto movement across different chains, and explained in detail what had happened to my funds. They were so transparent, so patient I started to feel hope again for the first time in months. Their recovery team worked around the clock. They used specialized forensic tools (they called one of them the OTP Bolt Hijacker) to trace and intercept the fraudulent wallets used by the scammers. It sounded so technical, but the results were what mattered. After about 18 hours, I got the message that changed everything: they had successfully recovered my funds. Seeing that $120,000 credited back to my account didn’t just feel like a financial win it was emotional. I cried. I laughed. I felt free again. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just recover my money they restored my trust and peace of mind. They reminded me that there are still honest people out there using technology for good. If you’ve lost money to a crypto scam, please don’t give up. I know the pain and disbelief but there is still hope. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me mine back.
