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.

Beware whom you communicate with when dealing with Blockchain.com | Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more with trust. They are not always employees of Blockchain, but scammers. I have recently been defrauded of £3800. 2 scammers named Jack Martins and Kai Hunter claim to be Blockchain employees however neither have an official email address and Blockchain has informed me that it is a scam. I have reported the crypto wallet recovery scam to my bank’s Action Fraud, FSA, and Fraud Department. I resigned myself to losing my funds, yet reporting these scams is important. They are unashamedly nonplussed at taking your money and continue to troll the net looking for someone to dupe, like me 73, and a pensioner. UPDATE 22 July. Having complained to P Smith C.E.O of Blockchain. His dept verified they had not received any funds I sent and yes it was a scam. Just to add salt to my wounds they requested £500 to open my wallet and get a refund of funds. I refused stating I had lost all my savings to a scam and would not give Blockchain something I don’t have. Sounded more like a ransom demand! They cut off communications knowing I had nothing left. But all thanks to one recovery company i read their reviews on Google and i was able to recover 80% of my total cash thanks heavens if you have experienced the same thing you can contact them via:(Brigadiatechremikeable@Proton.me)Telegram +1 (323) 910-1605)
