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.

In order to keep my money safe and have access to it anytime I want without having to go to the bank, I choose to invest in bitcoin. While surfing the internet, I unknowingly signed with a dubious investment company and gave them a sizable 157,000 USD of my funds. Several weeks passed while I waited, but nothing transpired. All I noticed was the value of my bitcoin rising daily without my having any control over it. My friend offered me Spyware Cyber after I mentioned it to her. I got in touch with them and explained the deception I had encountered. Spyware Cyber was able to repay all of my lost money after I informed them that I had invested with the wrong company, doing so anonymously and without the scam artists’ knowledge. I wish to appreciate Spyware Cyber for their wonderful service once more. This is undoubtedly a top-notch service, and I’ll let everyone know about it. This is the best online support I’ve ever experienced. I’m ecstatic. they can be reached through websites. (https :// cybegal.net) & spyware(@)cybergal.com.

ETHICAL HACKER FOR HIRE 
Late last year, I unintentionally fell for a cryptocurrency fraud. A Facebook imposter persuaded me through a phishing scam about how I could make a sizable profit from a legitimate cryptocurrency company, which he claimed assisted traders in investing and making big profits. They took advantage of me and made off with $114000 worth of cryptocurrency.As this was money I had worked so hard to obtain, I was shocked and uncomfortable. After reading favorable reviews and internet testimonials about a recognized team led by WIZARD LARRY, I learned how adept they are at any type of hacking and cryptocurrency recovery. They were able to get my money back once we had a talk. This was the best I could do to express my gratitude to them. Wizard Larry  can be reached.
