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.

Hello huntfurniture.com.au admin, Keep up the great work!
Hello huntfurniture.com.au administrator, Your posts are always a great source of knowledge.
My husband and I lost $1.1m worth of Bitcoins and USDT to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months back, we saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency to make huge profits from our investments. We contacted a broker online who was pretending to be an account manager for a forex trading firm, we invested a huge part of our retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a scam to steal away our money. After weeks of trying to withdraw, this broker continued to request more money until we were broke and in debt, it felt as if we are losing our life. Fortunately for us, we saw an article about RECOVERY BUREAU we were not in a hurry to contact them but we did some research about their services and found out they could help us recover our money from these scammers, we contacted RECOVERY BUREAU and in a space of 72 hours, RecoveryBureau was able to recover everything, this company did a thorough investigation with the information we provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to us, it felt so unreal how they were able to recover everything we have lost. We are truly grateful for the help of Recovery Bureau and we are putting this out there to everyone who needs their services. RecoveryBureau@consultant(.)com RecoveryBureauc@gmail(.)com

It’s really pathetic the rate at which people lose their hard earned money to cryptocurrency investment scam and due to loss of their private keys as well as passwords. Sometimes in December I lost all my crypto tokens to a fraudulent Chinese trading platform which took about $157,000 from me with the intent of getting me 10% profit monthly on my investment but turned out to be a trick.
