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 invested everything I had into my crypto portfolio, but unfortunately I became the victim of a well organized scam. A group of scammers used bots and fake crypto platforms that closely resembled legitimate websites, even cloning platforms like CoinMarketCap and Coinbase to make their scheme look authentic.
Before I realized what was happening, I had lost approximately $189,450 in USDC and Bitcoin. It was a devastating experience, and for a while I felt completely lost and unsure about what steps to take next.
A friend of mine, who had faced a similar situation a few years ago, recommended Morphohack Cyber Service. Reaching out to them turned out to be an important step. Their team helped me understand the situation, trace the fraudulent transactions, and work toward recovering my stolen funds.
I was truly impressed by their professionalism, dedication, and the speed with which they handled my case. I’m incredibly grateful for their support during such a difficult time. For anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams, I highly recommend seeking professional help from experienced and ethical experts like the team at Morphohack.

I was frustrated and disturbed when I suspected that my partner was cheating on me. I couldn’t confront him because he’ll always lie about it. I went for counselling and a very good friend of mine told me about Alberto Vadim. I didn’t buy the idea at first but contacted him after a while. He did a data dive into my partner’s mobile phone. He provided me with all
the evidence i needed, starting from the emails, calls, WhatsApp chat and lots more. It was a shocking moment, I was not happy about what I saw. It wasn’t easy to move on but am now I am free from all the lies and deceit. I will drop his contact info below for anyone who needs it.
