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.

Testimony: "My Dad’s Lost Bitcoin Was Recovered After 12 Years – Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE "
Earlier this year, we came across an old notebook with a partial 9-word seed phrase and a reference to a “Bitcoin wallet – Electrum.” We also found a non-working laptop from around 2013.
He had once mentioned buying Bitcoin back then, but we assumed it was a passing interest. Clearly, it wasn’t.
The problem? The laptop was unreadable, and the seed phrase was incomplete.
After failed DIY attempts, we reached to a company specializing in digital asset recovery and seed phrase reconstruction( CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY ) . From the beginning, they were professional, transparent, and highly responsive.
Their team recovered and decrypted data from the damaged laptop, analyzed old wallet files and metadata and also used proprietary tools to reconstruct the missing seed words
Within three weeks, they successfully recovered the wallet:
17 BTC—worth over $1,600,000 at the time.
Thanks to CLOUDSTRIKE , we recovered not just digital assets—but a part of my father’s legacy. The funds helped us pay off our family home, invest in the future, and support a cause he cared about.
If you’re locked out of a wallet or missing a seed phrase, I highly recommend CLOUDSTRIKE CYBERSECURITY COMPANY and they can be contact through their E-mall address which is ( Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com)
WhatsApp:+1(260)408-3923
Their expertise is rare—and real.
