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.

Pacific Tycoon Shipping Container Investment Scam – Asia-Pacific Victim Callout
Investors from Thailand, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore are reporting major losses to the so-called Pacific Tycoon Shipping Container Investment.
The company promised 12 % annual returns for buying and “leasing” containers and even supplied ownership papers and tracking numbers—documents now proven to be fake. The Hong Kong address listed was only a virtual office.
Victims holding bank receipts, signed contracts, and crypto transaction hashes have already filed cases with Bitreclaim.com, whose AI-driven smart-contract audit has traced over 205 BTC and large fiat transfers through offshore accounts in China, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, and Taiwan.
Several investors from Bangkok, Shenzhen, and Kowloon have begun partial recoveries after submitting evidence for forensic review. Bitreclaim is coordinating an international multi-jurisdiction class-action effort.
If you invested, preserve all records, contact Bitreclaim via their official site, and seek independent legal advice before sharing personal information.

I never imagined I’d fall victim to a scam. I always thought I was cautious. But one mistake just one moment of trust in the wrong place cost me $133,000. It started with what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity I found online. The website looked professional, the customer service was prompt, and the profits seemed slow but steady. I didn’t dump everything in at once. I tested the waters. The first few withdrawals went smoothly, and that’s what got me hooked. Then came the rug pull. I tried to withdraw my money, and suddenly everything changed. My account was frozen, support went silent, and the website eventually disappeared altogether. I was devastated. That was years of savings college funds, medical bills, rent money. I was too ashamed to tell my family. I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for being so stupid. The weight of losing $133,000 was suffocating. I tried everything filed reports with my bank, spoke to the police, and even reported it to financial watchdogs. Everyone was sympathetic, but nobody could actually do anything. It felt hopeless until someone mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. After everything, I had zero trust in anyone. But I was desperate, and I had nothing left to lose. From the first call, the team at Malice Cyber Recovery was professional, understanding, and brutally honest. They didn’t promise miracles they promised effort. And they delivered. They tracked down the digital footprints, coordinated with international crypto exchanges, and used some kind of dark web forensics I still don’t understand. Within six weeks, I got the email I’d been praying for: We’ve recovered your funds. When the money hit my account, I broke down crying. All $133,000 every single dollar was back. I didn’t just recover my finances I recovered my peace, my dignity, and my future. I know what it’s like to feel helpless. If you’re reading this and you’ve lost money online, don’t give up. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me a second chance, and they might just do the same for you.

It was a rainy evening in Istanbul, a year ago, when my world imploded. I’m Shehbaz, a software engineer who’d scrimped for years to build a nest egg 249,299 euros, my ticket to freedom from endless overtime. A colleague tipped me off about Quantum Gains, a crypto trading platform boasting 300% returns. The app was sleek, the charts hypnotic. I dove in, transferring chunks via wire and crypto swaps. At first, the gains rolled in, fake dopamine hits that blinded me to the red flags. Then, poof. The dashboard froze, support ghosted, and my balance read zero. Scammers. I’d been had. Nights blurred into despair. I pawned my watch for rent. Sleepless, I stalked forums, falling into recovery scams that drained another 5,000 euros. Rock bottom hit when I confessed to my wife, Aisha her silence was louder than screams. We were drowning. That’s when, in a crypto subreddit haze, I saw it: a whisper about Alpha Spy Nest. Not a flashy firm, but a shadow collective of ethical hackers and forensic wizards. Skeptical, I emailed them. They replied. They weren’t miracle workers; they were surgeons. Their lead analyst dissected my transaction logs. Your funds bounced through three mixers to an Eastern European exchange, they said, screens flickering with blockchain maps. Alpha Spy Nest’s toolkit custom scripts, AI tracers, unraveled the obfuscation in days. They ID’d the wallet: tied to a Bulgarian syndicate, dormant but laundered via fake NFTs.Then the call, Shehbaz, it’s done. 249,299 euros, wired to your secure account. Minus our 15% standard for ops like this. Tears came. Not just cash, but closure. They even shared a dossier on the perps, enough for my lawyer to sue remnants. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just claw back my savings; they pulled me from the abyss. In a digital Wild West, they’re the quiet guardians, ethical, relentless.
