Sweet Entertainment wins in court - AGAIN!
http://sweetentertainment.com/legal/051806.pdf (quoted below)
PRESS RELEASE To: ALL MEDIA From: Sweet Entertainment Group Date: 5/12/2006 Re: Steve Sweet Prosecution Sweet Entertainment Group, Sweet Productions Inc. and Steve Sweet, will not be going to trial next month in Vancouver, British Columbia on charges of distributing films over the Internet in contravention of the British Columbia Motion Picture Act. The British Columbia Film Classification Office (BC FCO) had taken the position that SEG fell under its purview and therefore had to have a license to distribute content over the Internet, and, in addition, to submit any content to the Commission for its review, rating and censorship. SEG balked at that idea and took the position it did not have to do so. No doubt smarting from the acquittal of Mr. Sweet and SEG on obscenity charges, on June 16, 2004 the BC FCO decided to launch its own raid on Sweet?s studios. Assisted by the Vancouver Police Department FCO Inspectors seized computer discs and other corporate materials and then charged SEG, and Steve Sweet personally, for breaches of the Motion Picture Act; specifically for carrying on the business of an adult film retailer and distributor without being licensed to do so. The Crown abandoned charges against Steve Sweet of obstructing a Film Classification Officer last month. Today Crown Counsel directed a stay of proceedings against all SEG corporate defendants and Mr. Sweet personally, bringing this latest prosecution to an end. SEG would like to once again thank its legal counsel, Paul G. Kent-Snowsell, for the tremendous job he did in defending these charges and bring the case to a successful conclusion. Max Sweet Director of Operations Sweet Entertainment Group of Companies |

Hey thanks alot guys. This has been a long time in the making and yes it had become a personal vendetta. The interesting legal implications are that the Film Board wanted jurisdiction over the internet as a distribution medium as if its vhs or dvds we're selling. They knew they didn't have a case and made a motion to dismiss.
Thanks again to Paul who is a killer in the court room  |

That is awesome news! Congrats guys!!
Another victory, you gotta hope that at some point they throw in the towel on bothering you guys and leave you alone. After all, how many times do you have to lose before you give up? Matt

Thanks to the Sweet org...
If that had passed, all provinces would have been under that rule ... I didn't even know you had that on your plate ... after the obscenety charges...

Hahaha.. I know the story you mean. Steve is actually full of these kinds of stories. (just his airport security and customs stories alone could fill a book!) He's been a rebel and iconoclast from the very beginning and I respect him immensely for that. That's the main reason I've been working for him for 6 years already Thanks again to everyone for their support! |
