John Malcolm Carr (see photos links below), director of the NZ registered company Eden Digital Ltd, resides in the United States, the country of origin of many of the DVDs containing sexually explicit content that his hardcore porn distribution company imports into New Zealand.

A significant number contain “a high degree of degrading, dehumanising and demeaning sexual conduct which, combined with the manner of presentation of this conduct, results in the women involved, and by extension women in general, being highly degraded, dehumanised and demeaned”(see full report below).
Of the seven DVDs Eden Digital submitted for classification to the OFLC that were clasified during the month of September this year, two were classified “objectionable” (i.e. they were banned) based on their depiction of sexual content that degraded women. No opportunity was given for Mr John M Carr’s company to make any excisions. Of the remaining five DVDs imported by Mr John M Carr’s company, two contained sexually degrading content that had to be removed (excised) before the publications could be issued a label allowing for distribution within New Zealand. This was done and advertisements were added promoting the NZ hardcore porn magazine NZX published by banned company director Steve Crow. The other three DVDs focused exclusively on sexually explicit content but did not require excisions before they could be distributed.
Mr John M Carr, whose most recent entries on his websites (www.johnmcarr.com and www.carr.co.nz) were in 2006, is recorded as a certified public accountant (CPA) based in San Antonio, Texas. He is both a NZ and US citizen. As the Society stated on page 4 of its December Newsletter (available on its website):
“In short, the porn sleaze money trail extends from the registered offices of Eden Digital Ltd and Velocity Partners Ltd in North Shore, Auckland, (both properties owned by – Kinetiq Ltd – directed by John M Carr and owned by Velocity Partners Ltd – also directed and owned by Carr) right across the blue Pacific to John M. Carr’s business address in sunny sexy San Antonio Texas.”
The “Texas-Godzone Connection” as we referred to it on page 14 of the December Newsletter, is a “sleaze money trail”, involving US porn directors Antom Slayer, Oliver Brand, Vincent Voss, Stoney Curtis, numerous porn stars and their promoters (see Eden Digital imported DVDs below). John M Carr would have to be well aware of the niche market his company Eden Digital appeals to in New Zealand. Trained censors from the OFLC have produced a summary of their classifications issued in September to the seven DVD titles submitted by Eden Digital and published in the October Decision List- see below:
Blow Bang Competition 2
OFLC ref 1001437.000)
Distributor: Eden Digital Ltd
Director: Vincent Voss
Total running time 162:58 mins.
Country of Origin United States
Classified objectionable.
No excisions recommended.
Date of Entry in Register: 15 September 2010
“… The publication contains a feature with nine scenes that explicitly depict sexual activity between men and women. Each scene contains a high degree of degrading, dehumanizing and demeaning sexual conduct which, combined with the manner of presentation of this conduct, results in the women involved, and by extension women in general, being highly degraded, dehumanized and demeaned. This conduct further exemplifies the idea that women are inherently inferior to men. The pervasiveness of the problematic material is such that excisions are considered impractical and a classification of objectionable is necessary in order to avoid the risk of injury to the public good.”

“The DVD consists of three lengthy scenes that depict sexual activity between individual women and groups of four or five men. Each scene contains a high extent and degree of degrading, dehumanising and demeaning sexual conduct towards the women. This conduct, and the manner in which it is presented, results in the women involved, and by extension women in general, being highly degraded, dehumanised and demeaned, and effectively being presented as inherently inferior to men. The pervasiveness of the problematic material is such that excisions are a classification of objectionable is necessary in order to avoid the risk of injury to the public good.”
