Canadian legalities - GoFuckYourself.com

Nechaev · 12-18-2004, 12:54 PM

I am starting an adult video production company in Saskatchewan, Canada and was concerned about the legalities involved in producing this genre of film. If the members on this board could give me as much information as possible I would be very greatful.

Thank you,
Nechaev

It's that place we all avoid - I've been to Saskatoon twice, never wanted to see the rest of the province after that

Like most areas it is fine as long as you have documentation of ages and follow the local rules. For example, in Alberta peeing is fine but not in BC. Most government information for Canada is online so you can check for the guidelines but you should talk to some sort of legal reprosenative.

HMMM??? In BC peeing is not legal?? I do believe that is where SEG was on trial for indecency and they won. So I do believe that it is legal. I am sure everybody here has there best intentions. The best advice is to talk to lawyer. However remember this Porn is legal in Canada. You might need permits, and you will have to follow the community decensy guide which is what this guy was talking about. I do believe where you are would constitute the bible belt, so my only piece of advice would be to move to Vancouver or Montreal. There you can do what you want and will be able to find girls or guys??don't know what you are into! sicko!

Ohhh! Ohhhh! My fucking sides! Trully hilarious. For future reference, in regards to the other comedic talent on this board, if you don't have useful information to lend...... now listen carefully..... pay close attention..... ready..... don't waste my fucking time!

"I do believe where you are would constitute the bible belt, so my only piece of advice would be to move to Vancouver or Montreal."

Actually that would be Alberta. Saskatchewan has a socialist party in power that has been extremely lenient to the adult entertainment industry.
Anyways for those of you who were of some use, thank you.

wyldblyss · 12-18-2004, 09:33 PM

I live in Canada, and I know where Saskatchewan is. I did not however know people actually lived there...I mean willingly.

Nechaev · 12-18-2004, 09:50 PM

Hey Fris,

Could you tell me how I could get in touch with ladym?

Nechaev

P.S. wyldblyss, if anyone is going to make rude comments about the miserable, drab, frozen, destitute, cultural wasteland that constitutes as the province of Saskatchewan, then..... well..... it's going to be me goddamn it!

Jim_Gunn · 12-18-2004, 09:56 PM

You guys with the automatic -"Call a lawyer" replies crack me up. Most attorneys don't have a clue about these matters unless they already specialize in the adult industry.

Saskatchewan.. the place that banned Exit from Eden from being shown in the movie theaters... yea, call a lawyer that knows what is allowed and what isn't.

"Saskatchewan.. the place that banned Exit from Eden from being shown in the movie theaters... yea, call a lawyer that knows what is allowed and what isn't."

Exit from Eden was not banned here for christ's sake! I am afraid to say I saw that shitty film in the theater myself.
Now once again, for the literate impaired, if you don't know what you are talking about, or have nothing useful to submit don't waste my time.
I am sure the next post will contain a message asking where I find a spot in my igloo to plug my computer in, or what meat I prefer to live off more, polar bear or penguin.

If this guy were serious at all about his business he would find an attorney "with a clue" and hire him/her, and most likely find one who specializes in the field, not asking for legal advice from a bunch of strangers on a message board called GO FUCK YOURSELF.com for his so-called "business".

I am confident most content producers would not even think of going into this business without a more than competent attorney overlooking things, much less a full-scale "adult video production company".

daveylapoo · 12-19-2004, 10:13 AM

Go riders :D

pornguy · 12-19-2004, 10:14 AM

Call a lawyer and make sure that he knows US law. If not you will end up in a US jail, and not know why.

jact · 12-19-2004, 10:47 AM

You seem quick to attack people with the only sound advice in the thread.

CALL A LAWYER.

Could you imagine being on trial and your only defense is "Well I asked on Go Fuck Yourself and they said it was okay!". If you're serious about this business, you'll spend the money to make sure you're going to be able to play by the rules.

Well said.

See now he should be asking "Anyone know a Lawyer that specializes in adult thats in Sask. or willing and has the knowledge to work cross boarders"

The laws regarding urination, defecation etc are FEDERAL laws... I don't believe the Sweets were tried on a federal level? Although I could be wrong.

Nechaev, you can hit me up at icq 3522039 and I can point you in the right direction and help you find a lawyer who can give a hand.

Nechaev · 12-19-2004, 06:34 PM

Ok Ok Ok

I will call a fucking lawyer! You people sure are insistent but I suppose I will thank you in the long run.

reynold · 12-19-2004, 06:38 PM

ask for some advice from the lawyer, they know more about legal matters.

Mike Okitch · 12-19-2004, 07:10 PM

Get a lawyer - it makes no sense being 'thrifty' in this department.

My understanding is that the 'Community of Canada' is used for determining issues related to 'obscenity', criminal acts involving sexuality.

Unlike in the US where each state determines what is 'obscene' or not, Canada has a federal standard and the recent SEG case was a huge milestone in extending liberties relating to more extreme forms of adult entertainment.

Comments in this thread suggesting to 'get a lawyer' are reasonable - I would suggest consulting a criminal lawyer from your area (in Canada) as it would be those pesky criminal charges you may be needing help with.

It has been my experience that many Canadian (criminal) lawyers may not be up to speed on US (2257) laws (just as many US lawyers know little about Canadian laws), but they can speak to most issues regarding any Canadian criminal law including any exposure you may have to US laws through your conduct in/from Canada. They may advise you to seek advice from a lawyer knowledgeable in US affairs.
