The criminal charges against Rémy Couture have been dropped. This outcome confirms that artistic expression must remain protected from legal overreach. I am deeply thankful to everyone who recognized the importance of this case and stood by us throughout the process.

Criminal Charges for fiction / Accusé à la cour criminelle pour de la fiction
Final supporters
This petition is to STOP the charges against Rémy Couture.
Rémy Couture is the creator of the website InnerDepravity.com and make-Up Fx artist. InnerDepravity was a portal into a serial killer’s universe. The website main character was a classic psychopath like the ones known to our world today.
InnerDepravity is presently the object of a controversy and Rémy his facing a lawsuit because of the realism of the make-ups and set-ups. The lawsuit accuses him of “moral corruptions” and “Publication of obscene material ”according to article 163 of the Criminal Code of Canada. This proceeding can put him in jail or having a penalty that can attain thousands dollars and even keep him from practicing as a makeup artist.

Cette Pétition a pour but de faire pression pour qu'ils Abandonnent les charges qui pèsent contre Rémy Couture.
Rémy Couture est le créateur du site InnerDepravity.com et Artiste en maquillages effets spéaciaux. InnerDepravity fait présentement l’objet d'une controverse et Rémy d’une poursuite au criminel. Tout ça à cause du réalisme de ses maquillages et de ses mises en scènes. InnerDepravity n'était qu'un site artistique dans le domaine de l'horreur! Le personnage créé illustrait le psychopathe classique. Il faisait référence aux tueurs en série que notre monde a connus. InnerDepravity était donc un passage qui nous transportait directement dans l’univers d’un psychopathe. Rémy est accusé de « corruption des mœurs » et “Publication de matériels obscènes ” selon l’article 163 du Code criminel canadien. Cette accusation peut lui valoir une peine d’emprisonnement ou encore une amende pouvant atteindre des milliers de dollars et l'empêcher d’exercer son métier et sa passion comme maquilleur Effets Spéciaux.
L'art n'est pas un crime !

Reaching twenty-five hundred signatures brings a profound sense of clarity regarding the importance of artistic liberty. It is humbling to see so many people recognize that creative expression should not be treated as a criminal act.

Reaching one thousand signatures signals that many people value the distinction between artistic expression and actual harm. This level of support provides a necessary perspective as we navigate these legal challenges.

If they go after him they should go after Hollywood directors too. TOTAL BS.
C'est de la fiction pure et simple. On marche sur la tête au Canada.
Free Remy. Art is not a crime.
Ridiculous. Its just movies and special effects. Since when is art a crime in this country?
The makeup is realistic because he is talented. That does not make him a criminal. This makes no sense.
