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.

There is a big shift in the understanding that people have of what “dating apps” are for-mostly because they’re called “dating apps”. Modern dating apps are an entertainment product: a gallery of people in your area and someone will occasionally like your photos. Unfortunately some people have decided to make the dating app space unsafe for casual people who simply wishes to use the app for its primary purposes. Nowadays, when you join a dating site, there’s a 99% chance that you’re going meet these people always trying to pitch an app/ company that they claim is a more effective way to save and earn money some even go to the lengths of building a romance relationship with you first before manipulating your feelings towards investing in some sort of financial setup. I had plenty of experience with the likes of these individuals. However I later fell victim to one lady I had met on hinge her name was Tonya, I actually met up with her one time, I never knew that these crypto scammers actually operate in real life as well. She always came up with some sort of excuse whenever I suggested we met up again, I felt I didn’t make a good first impression and tried making up for that by buying into a referral program she dealt with , I invested a total of $340k within 4 months but when I insisted to see her again before going further she stopped responding to me and blocked me on all platforms. I didn’t know what to think or believe but I was sure of one thing, Tonya was a fraud. I quickly started scorching the internet for best possible means to recover sent crypto funds, this led me to a podcast where I learnt about how SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM has recovered stolen/scammed crypto assets for individuals, without further hesitation I messaged the team through their official EMAIL ADDRESS WHICH IS swiftrecoveryservice006@gmail.com and asked for their help, thankfully the team successfully recovered back the 340k worth of USDT assets I sent to the company address after 48 hours and I feel so fortunate to have been able to get the right team otherwise I have no idea what could’ve become of me.

The fact is, this team have got the much required versatile knowledge and experience to accurately maneuver the crypto space and make the impossible happen and that was exactly what I needed in my then moment of desperation, and it surely influenced my decision to go with them. After what happened with the telegram platform that deceived me, I just couldn’t afford to fall into the wrongs hands again so for me it was all about results and SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM came highly recommended, so I took their contact details which were attached to the reviews which were Email address : SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006 @ G M AIL .

Recovery companies/firm has played a crucial role in curtailing financial thefts by providing services to underserved populations who were unjustly exploited or targeted from their previous finance practices and investments, However, there will always be bad eggs in the groups like the first 2 firms I contacted before SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM arrived and saved the day. SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM and team have disrupted traditional financial services, offering innovative solutions that challenge established financial institutions and banking related frauds setting the standards for true excellence in this field. Unfortunately The knowledge and experience i have gained from my painful ordeal with the fraudulent platform that nearly succeeded in taking my money came at a great cost one that I had imagined would be the ruin of me. I lost my entire life savings of almost half a million dollars to a binary trading platform introduced to me by a lady I connected with on LinkedIn, she had provided me with all sorts of documents and proofs to collaborate her testimony which I later discovered were all fakes. I blamed myself deeply for trusting her words and being a novice in the industry, i fell for her game of numbers, I believed I actually had a real balance of huge profits and before I realized what was happening I had already invested everything I had saved up with them. I couldn’t bear the loss so I set out looking for help, it wasn’t an easy decision picking the right company to consult as I came across many different recovery agents/companies but in the end, it was worth the risk. I decided to go with SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY Team on my third attempt through one of their contact channels on WhatsApp +1 (786) 684-0501 and I explained my plight to the team, well to round up my story, the team recovered my funds from the scam company in 72 hours of serious efforts unlike the previous recovery companies. Also the team is active on email SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006@ GMAIL.COM

Hi Everyone, This is my story. I was scammed by a cryptocurrency investment company by the name Altercoin and Based on its website, it’s a British company. Everything began January 12, 2024, with a deposit of $350.0 USD to open trading account. Shortly after investing, Their system started generating decent profits , In the first week of February 2024 their system generated a 158% profit in one week approximately $65,000 USD. Altercoin employee Danny Nixon, an English man asked for additional capital to balance the profit, After the additional capital provided, they liquidated my trading account at the financial department request and placed the transaction on hold, After which they asked for more funds for various reasons which I did pay as well but still the funds was not released to my wallet so this got me very concerned and I decided to carry out an investigation on my own , I discovered later that they were on paper and the whole account was fake. I was left devastated and feeling crushed so I had to confide in my friend about everything that’s going on, he advised we hire a professional recovery company to trace down all my deposits and payments to Altercoin and have it retrieved, he’s well oriented in tech stuff so he recommended we seek out the professional help we needed from SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006 @GMAIL.COM which we did and At first, I had to provide the team with some proofs of my investment and contract with Altercoin before they could proceed to recover my funds. I must thank the team at SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006 @GMAIL.COM for how professional they were in handling my situation, demonstrates a commendable level of commitment and dedication to helping his clients such as myself recover our funds stuck in the hands of dishonest financial setups.

My process for recovery has been kind of a bumpy process because of the fake recovery agents I encountered earlier on, however with the support given to me in the consultation and during my one on one conversations with the Team via their WHATSAPP +1 (786) 684-0501 and I have collectively succeeded in recouping my locked up BTC Assets valued at $382,790 within the space of 48 hours !! Or rather the team worked hard on my behalf, I only had to provide them with a few details regarding my investment with the fraud company and they did the rest for me. Prior to meeting SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM, i had met a few recovery agents as well that only seemed to care about their service fee similar to what the fraud company was doing to me and at some point I almost gave up the believe that I would ever get back my money but today, I’ve done full circle to come back here and give my own thankful review since I learnt about the team through the many reviews on here. I feel ready to take on the world with my new found awareness and SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM on my team! … I wish they would create more awareness platforms and opportunities to help enlighten more people about crypto and how best to navigate the digital financial landscape, this will surely help to reduce the fast spreading fraudulent activities going on there and save potential investors from falling prey!. Glad I know it now and I can teach it to my children so they wont make the same mistakes I did. You can also contact them via their official email address ( SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006 @ GMAI IL. COM )
