His former co-director Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow was recently banned for four years from being a company director, or being involved in the management or promotion of a company, by the Ministry of Economic Development. Eden Digital Ltd is currently distributor of many hardcore porn DVD titles including four recently classified R18 by the Office of Film and Literature Classification in its June 2010 List of Decisions. All have been given the descriptive note “Contains explicit sex scenes”. The censors required one of these DVDs originating from the United States to be cut to remove its depiction of objectionable content that promotes urination in conjunction with sexual activity. The DVD in its excised version contains an additional component not present in the unexcised version – a Notice promoting the hardcore NZ porn magazine NZX founded and promoted by “Porn King” Steve Crow.
John M Carr, who holds US citizenship and owns a number of NZ registered companies, has had a financial interest in the importation and promotion of hardcore porn sleaze for many years, working closely with his friend Steve Crow, who until his recent 4-year ban, co-directed CVC Group Ltd with him. CVC Group Ltd, directed by John M. Carr, owns Eden Digital Ltd. Eden Digital Ltd has its registered office at 2/18b Triton Drive, Albany, Auckland 1025 – a property owned by PJ Digital Ltd, a company directed and owned by John Malcolm Carr.
