I recently purchased(won the auctions for i.e) a bunch of dvds(mostly EA stuff; JJ, Rocco) off of these guys on ebay for about $15-17 a pop. The seller(dvds4usa) is Canadian, in fact most of the sellers on ebay selling these dvds cheap(they list 'em starting at $13!)are Canadian. But i just (out of curiosity) clicked on one of the more expensive listings(starting at $22 for the same titles) by a US seller, and saw this note on the auction page:

"DON’T BE TRICKED INTO BUYING THE CHEAPER CANADIAN VERSION OF THIS RELEASE. THOSE DVDS ARE NOT THE COMPLETE “USA” VERSION. SECTIONS OF THE DVD HAVE BEEN EDITED TO MEET CANADIAN LAWS."

Say it ain't so! :-( 'cause if this is true i'm screwed, i just paid these ppl a crapload of $ for cut dvds! Someone please confirm this, oooooooh i hope its not true :-(.
please respond asap! thanx

In some cases I'm sad to say it is true.

Evil Angel seems to have sold Canadian distribution rights to Valentine Video. Valentine routinely butchers Evil Angel discs.
However the Censoring probably is not as bad as you might think. Don't forget we started showing hardcore sex on cable long before it was satalite even thought about it.

But they do a poor job mastering the dvds, and do not supply any real extras.

Many of the DVDs from Valentine are cut shorter.
However, some have less cut out of them than others. The Canadian rules for what needs to be cut out seem fairly erratic.
But it's something we have no control over...

Valentine has their name on most of the EA titles. Some of them are really bad transfer quality and has plenty of stuff removed and other have not been touched (don't know why). They also remove the extras from the DVD for rent.

Most countries have their own set of spicific do's and
don'ts Canada is no exception. If I'm not mistaken
there is some sort of Canadian film board that has to
clear all adult releases. I know that we've had problems
with some of our flick trailers being too far over the
edge for them and it caused some problems. They ended up
having to be removed before they could be released.

What I find odd is that I ended up finding an uncut (fisting) "Lydia P.: Ein Kafig Vollertitten" on DVD from an online store in Canada. I guess "erratic" is probably a good word to decribe the rules.

I've bought stuff from this seller (dvds4usa) from Canada and most of it has been just fine. However, I bought a copy of one of The Voyeur series from that guy and it was really, really chopped up and the sound would not work on my DVD player. I complained to him about it but he never replied. I would have left negative feedback but it was really the only bad incident. I've bought several Anabolic/Diabolic titles and have not noticed anything missing in them. I talked to another seller up there who was honest enough to tell me that Hustler titles are also going through Valentine, but I've never bought one from up there so I don't know what the impact is. So my advice is, if you are buying from north of the border, make sure ahead of time what you are bidding on. If they have an image of the box available, look closely to see if it says Valentine Video on the front, which they usually do.

It's true that the Canadian version could be different from the original version of the film. Usually Rocco's stuff get cuts here and there, as far as Evil Angel lines go. Anything that has rough sex, choking, spanking, or where the girls seems to be resisting to some point, gets cut.

However, that doesn't mean that the uncut US version or even European version of these films is not available in Canada. I myself have bought some Euro and American version of various titles up here through different sources, some stuff you won't even find in US. If I was in your place, I would just buy one from that seller on Ebay and see if it's cut or not, then I would consider buying more.

It's even more confusing, as there isn't a Canadian film board, but rather, each province has its own film board with varying restrictions.

I can't speak for the rest of Canada, but as someone who has been in the video business, on and off, in Ontario, the rules here have relaxed quite a bit over the past ten years. Things tend to still be kind of haphazard though. The big bugaboo here, is anything involving "degradation", but that really is open to interpretation (it used to include facials and DPs, but no more).

What it comes down to, as other posters have stated, some Canadian releases are identical to the US releases and some are cut to varying degrees, and there is often no real rhyme or reason to the cuts. You just gotta do a little research. Sometimes its worth it though, as alot of our DVDs are cheaper.

Yes....sad but I have recently purchased Service Animals 6 becuase I enjoyed the deep throat gag action so much I went ahead and purchased it thru dvd4usa from ebay. Sorry to say this but all the deep throat gag action was cut. What now ? I have to order the the USA version.

If you are in Canada don't bother with ebay, order your dvd's from Pornmaster Mike over at dv-depot.com
All their stuff is uncut, no worrying about getting crappy Canadian versions. I've bought tons of stuff from them in the past and never have I once got a stickered/cut version.
All originals.

I live in BC, Canada and it's getting REALLY bad here for censorship. I'm glad somebody started a thread on this because I wasn't sure if anyone else knew or cared. Until recently, adult videos/DVDs were censored only for DAP and violence, but since a few months ago they've started cutting out all ATM! Each time there's any ATM, they cut it when pulling out and cut back once the girl is already sucking. That was basically the last straw for me now I don't even want to rent any new releases these days.

I've bought from that Canadian seller on eBay a couple of times. The first time was Un-natural Sex 7 and that was fine, but I got Weapons Of Ass Destruction and it was totally butchered plus it had terrible picture quality. Thankfully he was nice enough to give me a refund so I sent it back.

I know that the Canadian site www.adultdvdboxoffice.com advertises that all their adult DVDs are uncut and I've bought from them before. Their prices are quite good (with free worldwide shipping), but dv-depot.com looks a little cheaper so I might try there. Thanks for the info M.B.

Fuck, if memory serves me correctly, there was a shitload of gagging in that DVD. What was left?
