'''Visuals:''' On a white background, a {{color|red}} vertical bar is seen at the left of the screen, featuring the same FBI logo design as most warnings. At the right of the bar, in the Exotic Bold font, is the standard FBI Warning text from the previous screen:
<center>
{|
|'''{{color|red|<center>{{Big|WARNING}}</center>FEDERAL LAW PROVIDES SEVERE<br/>CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR<br/>THE UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION,<br/>DISTRIBUTION OR EXHIBITION OF<br/>COPYRIGHTED MOTION PICTURES,<br/>VIDEO TAPES, OR VIDEO DISCS.<br/><br/>CRIMINAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT<br/>IS INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI AND MAY<br/>CONSTITUTE A FELONY WITH A<br/>MAXIMUM PENALTY OF UP TO FIVE YEARS<br/>IN PRISON AND/OR A $250,000 FINE.}}'''
|}
</center>
The screen then fades out, and a {{color|red}} background fades in with the following text in white:
<center>'''LICENSED FOR PRIVATE<br/>HOME EXHIBITION ONLY.<br/>ANY PUBLIC PERFORMANCE,<br/>COPYING OR OTHER USE<br/>IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.<br/>ALL OTHER RIGHTS RESERVED.'''</center>
Each screen lasts about eight seconds before fading out.
'''Variants:'''
* Some releases in 1990-1991 would have all of the text in a Goudy Old Style font.
* Walt Disney World videos had all of the text in a different sans
* On some releases, the first screen would cut straight to the next, rather than fading out.
* There is a variant in which the second screen fades in to a {{color|red}} background, and the text fading in after that. This version has text that looks chyroned in.
* On Canadian releases only, there is a variant in which the warning text fades to {{color|red}}, and then the Duplication notice fades in
<center>{{Big|'''DUPLICATION<br/>IN WHOLE OR IN PART<br/>OF THIS VIDEOCASSETTE<br/>IS PROHIBITED.'''}}</center>
:This version has chyroned text.
* There is a special variant on videos from [[Disney Educational Productions|Walt Disney Educational Productions]] in the 1980s. Here, the background is a {{color|#55f|lavender}}/{{color|lightsalmon|prawn}} gradient, the text is all in Helvetica, and the second screen is reworded to make it refer to educational use only:
<center>{{Big|{{font|Arial|'''WARNING:<br/><br/>LICENSED FOR FACE TO FACE<br/>INSTRUCTIONAL USE ONLY. AS<br/>AUTHORIZED BY A WRITTEN<br/>LICENSE AGREEMENT. ALL OTHER<br/>RIGHTS RESERVED. ANY COPYING,<br/>OR THE PERFORMANCE, OR OTHER<br/>USE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.<br/>THIS VIDEO CASSETTE IS THE<br/>PROPERTY OF DISNEY EDUCATIONAL<br/>PRODUCTIONS.'''}}}}</center>
* There is an early "prototype" variation with different, longer sentences for the first screen:
<center>
{|
|{{color|red|'''MOTION PICTURES AND VIDEO TAPES<br/>ARE PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHTS<br/>ISSUED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.<br/><br/>FBI INVESTIGATES ALLEGATIONS OF<br/>COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT DONE<br/>WILLFULLY AND FOR PROFIT.<br/>CONVICTION MAY RESULT IN FINE UP<br/>TO $1,000 AND/OR IMPRISONMENT UP<br/>TO ONE YEAR. TITLE 17, UNITED STATES<br/>CODE, SECTION 104.<br/><br/>CIVIL DAMAGES UP TO $5,000 MAY<br/>ALSO RESULT (TITLE 17, U.S. CODE,<br/>SECTION 101).'''}}
|}
</center>
* On the 1991 release of ''Fantasia'', the length of time each warning is on screen is cut in half, making it four seconds instead of the usual eight.
* A 1988 VHS of ''Alice in Wonderland'' had the first warning screen
* On some occasions, the {{color|red}} area will be {{color|gold|yellow}} instead.
* On Spanish-translated releases, the setup is similar to the next warning on the first screen, being contained inside of a red rectangle with Spanish warning text. Notably, the text is also in a different, much smaller font.

Line 186 ⟶ 181:
'''Audio Variant:''' On Disney's August/September 1986 demo tape for video dealers, audio of Little Richard performing "Great Gosh A'Mighty" (from ''Down and Out in Beverly Hills'') begins to play over the second screen and continues into the start of the preview segments.
'''Availability:''' Seen on releases from mid/late 1984 to 1991, like ''Winnie the Pooh and Friends'', ''Robin Hood'', and tapes of TV shows like ''DuckTales'' and ''Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers''. It first appeared on ''Welcome to Pooh Corner, Vol. 1'' and ''Five Mile Creek, Vol. 1''. It can also be seen on 1985-1991 [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] releases as well. The version with the Goudy Old Style font was seen only on the last releases to use this (including the reprint of ''Disney's Sing-Along Songs: You Can Fly'', ''Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree'', and compilations of episodes of the television series ''Dinosaurs''). The regular version last appeared on ''Fantasia'' and a screener VHS of ''Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken''. The one with the different font than the standard (which slideshows) can be seen on old 80s Walt Disney World promotional videos. The one with the font that fades in after the background can be seen on the original release of ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the 1991 Canadian VHS print of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', and the [[Walt Disney Mini Classics|Mini-Classics]] release of ''Peter and the Wolf''. The one which slideshows can be spotted on the 1988 American print of ''Alice in Wonderland''. The prototype variation is rare, but can be spotted on the original 1984 prints of ''Splash'' and ''Mickey's Christmas Carol''. The Spanish-translated variant has been spotted on a 1986 Spanish VHS of ''Mary Poppins''. Palladium Books tapes used the first screen.

* On American Spanish-language copies, all text is (obviously) translated to Spanish, the rounded rectangle is gone, leaving only the rectangle containing FBI and its logo, and the transition is a fade to and then from {{color|red}} instead of a slideshow cut.

'''Visuals:''' Same as warning screen 5, except the background is {{color|forestgreen|grass green}} and the words are bolder and are in decidedly different fonts and positioning. In late 1997, the fonts were revised and the second screen was rephrased, replacing "LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY" with "THIS VIDEOCASSETTE (or DVD or LASERDISC) IS FOR PRIVATE HOME VIEWING ONLY. IT IS NOT LICENSED FOR ANY OTHER USE." The fade in on this second variant is also faster.
Line 283 ⟶ 251:
* A Spanish translation is used on Spanish copies. The first screen now has square edges instead of rounded edges.
* The word "'''VIDEOCASSETTE'''" or "'''DVD'''" may be replaced with "'''VHS OR DVD'''".
* There is also a
* On 1998-2000 DVD releases, the 1997 warning screens slideshow.
* On rare occasions, the background is {{color|blue}} instead of {{color|forestgreen|green}}. This can be found on the ''Old McDonald's Sing-a-Long Farm'' tape "Share & Care Alike", and on some
* On the DVS VHS printing of ''Old Yeller'', a woman says at the beginning, "A warning appears..." then reads the text on the screen except for the bottom text because it fades to the next screen she also reads before she could finish with the first screen. This also happens on the DVS VHS of ''Anne of Avonlea'', but with a man saying at the beginning, "Now, an FBI Warning appears..." and reading the text in both screens.
* On a 1992 print of ''Sister Act'', the second warning screen abruptly cuts to the [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] logo.
* On French-Canadian releases, the last warning is used, but the background color is changed to match and the text has a shadow effect. It was updated in 1995 with the font changed to that of the format screen of the time. This also appears on some US DVDs as well.
* On both versions of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' VHS from 1992, the length of each screen is again cut in half like the ''Fantasia'' VHS. Each screen shows up for only five seconds instead of the usual ten.

'''Audio:''' None.
'''Availability:''' Seen on almost every [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]], (standard, [[Walt Disney Classics|Classic]], or [[Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection|Masterpiece]]), [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]], [[Touchstone Pictures]] and [[Hollywood Pictures]] releases from the 90s. Began appearing on [[Miramax Home Entertainment|Miramax]], [[Dimension Films|Dimension Films,]] [[DIC Toon-Time Video]], [[ABC Video (US)|ABC Video]] and [[ESPN Home Entertainment|ESPN Video]] releases after [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] took over the following companies.
*Also seen on [[NCircle Entertainment|NCircle]]/[[DIC Entertainment|DiC]] DVD releases.
*The DVD variant of the 1991 FBI screens can be found on the earliest Disney DVDs from 1997 and early 1998, such as ''Air Bud'', ''George of The Jungle'', ''Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey'', ''Tombstone'', and a few others.
*Its earliest appearance is believed to have been on a screener VHS of ''Paradise''.
*The Duplication screen, which is mainly seen on Canadian releases, appears on quite a few DVDs coded for Region 1 (U.S. and Canada), including ''What About Bob?'', ''The Three Musketeers'', and even ''Tarzan''; among others.
*It can also be seen on tapes from a few non-[[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]/[[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista]] companies.
** [[VCI Entertainment]] videos from the late 90s (which only showed the first screen), and tapes from [[Everland Entertainment|Everland]]/[[Word Entertainment]] both used this screen.
** It also appeared on DVD prints of ''Baby Einstein'' videos from 2000 to 2002 (despite them being owned by [[Family Home Entertainment]] at the time).
** Also appeared on [[Anchor Bay Entertainment]] DVD releases of films that were licensed from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], such as ''Big Red'' and ''The Cat from Outer Space'' (VHS releases of these films use [[Anchor Bay Entertainment (1995-2006)|Anchor Bay]]'s standard warning).
** Appears on DIC releases from [[Sterling Entertainment Group]] and [[NCircle Entertainment]] as well.
** Surprisingly, this appears as a box on a white background at the start of the 2015 documentary ''Strange Matters''.
** The 1997 warnings were also used on VHS releases from [[AnimeVillage.com Home Entertainment|Anime Village Home Entertainment]] and early [[Bandai Entertainment]] VHS releases (in which the first screen would slideshow to the next).
'''Legacy:''' This is probably one of, if not the most recognizable of FBI warnings; as a result it is occasionally parodied (such as the 2002 Deluxe Edition DVD of ''Men in Black'', which had a parody of this screen after [[Sony]]'s warnings right before the menu).

'''Visuals:''' Same as Warning Screens 5 and 6, but it now takes place on a {{color|blue}} background, with the warning text and the second screen now in mixed case; the second screen also includes the duplication warning (previously exclusive to Canadian releases). On DVDs, the FBI Warning would cut right to the second screen instead of fading to black to the second screen, and the word "DVD" replaces "Videocassette". In the late summer of 2003, the second screen was modified to include more info. (which co-existed with the original version until March 2004.)

* On DVDs and later VHS releases, the warnings slideshow.
* On all Canadian VHS releases, it skips to the second screen. Weirdly, the first screen is still intact on Canadian DVD releases.
* On the Jeffery Blitz documentary ''Spellbound'' released on DVD, the first part of the warning screen fades in and fades out before the [[TH!NKFilm]] logo. A little bit of the vertical FOV was also decreased cropping off some of the black from the top and the blue from the bottom.
* French-Canadian VHS releases have the second screen translated into French.
* The original DVD version of the first screen is present on the 2005 DVD of ''Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys'', despite the later version with more text already being in use for well over a year by then (including on its own VHS).

Visuals: On a dark screen, the following words in yellow (or possibly white, but is unknown due to film deterioration) are seen below:
Variant: The words may be in a thinner font and less compressed on some films. [Examples?]
Technique: It appears to be a printed card.
Audio: None.
Availability: This technically wasn't used on home media, but was used on Disney's souvenir videos used on the mm digests. [Examples?]
Visuals: On a blue background, a black rectangle is seen on the left, listed with the large bold letters "FBI" in white, along with a monochrome white version of the FBI seal below it. Above and to the right is the word "WARNING" in a yellow color, and below that is the standard white warning text:
Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures and video tapes. (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506). The Federal Bureau of Investigation in- vestigates allegations of criminal copyright infringement. (Title 17, United States Code, Section 506). |
The screen fades to a blue background with the following text in yellow:
Licensed for private home exhibition only. Any public performance, copying or other use is strictly prohibited. All other rights reserved. |
Variants:
Duplication in whole or in part of this videocassette is prohibited. |
Technique: Still, digital graphics with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: This was the second-to-first warning used on home media (the first was 20th Century Fox's 1978 warning). Appears on releases from 1980-1983, such as The Black Hole, Pete's Dragon, and Escape to Witch Mountain.
Visuals: On a poppy red background, the 1979 warning screen from Warner Home Video is seen in B&W, as well as a smaller size. The screen then fades to the same blue "Licensed" screen mentioned above.
Technique: Still, digital graphics with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on releases from late 1983 to mid to late 1984 (excluding Canadian copies) such as Tex, Condorman and later printings of Tron.
Visuals: On a white background, a red vertical bar is seen at the left of the screen, featuring the same FBI logo design as most warnings. At the right of the bar, in the Exotic Bold font, is the standard FBI Warning text from the previous screen:
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION OR EXHIBITION OF COPYRIGHTED MOTION PICTURES, VIDEO TAPES, OR VIDEO DISCS. CRIMINAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI AND MAY CONSTITUTE A FELONY WITH A MAXIMUM PENALTY OF UP TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON AND/OR A $250,000 FINE. |
The screen then fades out, and a red background fades in with the following text in white:
Each screen lasts about eight seconds before fading out.
Variants:
MOTION PICTURES AND VIDEO TAPES ARE PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHTS ISSUED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. FBI INVESTIGATES ALLEGATIONS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT DONE WILLFULLY AND FOR PROFIT. CONVICTION MAY RESULT IN FINE UP TO $1,000 AND/OR IMPRISONMENT UP TO ONE YEAR. TITLE 17, UNITED STATES CODE, SECTION 104. CIVIL DAMAGES UP TO $5,000 MAY ALSO RESULT (TITLE 17, U.S. CODE, SECTION 101). |
Technique: Still, digital graphics with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Audio Variant: On Disney's August/September 1986 demo tape for video dealers, audio of Little Richard performing "Great Gosh A'Mighty" (from Down and Out in Beverly Hills) begins to play over the second screen and continues into the start of the preview segments.
Availability: Seen on releases from mid/late 1984 to 1991, like Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Robin Hood, and tapes of TV shows like DuckTales and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. It first appeared on Welcome to Pooh Corner, Vol. 1 and Five Mile Creek, Vol. 1. It can also be seen on 1985-1991 Touchstone Home Video releases as well. The version with the Goudy Old Style font was seen only on the last releases to use this (including the reprint of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: You Can Fly, Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree, and compilations of episodes of the television series Dinosaurs). The regular version last appeared on Fantasia and a screener VHS of Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. The one with the different font than the standard (which slideshows) can be seen on old 80s Walt Disney World promotional videos. The one with the font that fades in after the background can be seen on the original release of The Brave Little Toaster, the 1991 Canadian VHS print of The Rescuers Down Under, and the Mini-Classics release of Peter and the Wolf. The one which slideshows can be spotted on the 1988 American print of Alice in Wonderland. The prototype variation is rare, but can be spotted on the original 1984 prints of Splash and Mickey's Christmas Carol. The Spanish-translated variant has been spotted on a 1986 Spanish VHS of Mary Poppins. Palladium Books tapes used the first screen.
Visuals: Same as the previous warning, but it's on a dark red background and is contained in a rounded rectangle border, not unlike the previous warning's Spanish variant, on the first screen, and the 2nd has bigger spacing in-between the lettering. All the text is now in a bold Helvetica font as well. This can be seen as a prototype for the next warning screen.
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: It can be found on the original Classics print of Sleeping Beauty (either VHS or Laserdisc), as well as the 1986 Classics reprint of Pinocchio and an early 1987 print of The Three Caballeros. It can also be seen on most 1986 Disney tapes (your best bet are ones that also have the Video Dealer Announcement on them, such as A Tiger Walks, and the first video releases of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore). This was also found on American copies of Ruthless People, while Canadian copies use the previous warning screen (with the Video Dealer Announcement intact on both versions). For some reason, this was surprisingly spotted on a 1990 Canadian copy of Turner and Hooch and demo tapes of Big Business, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Mr. Destiny, The Jungle Book (1991 release), and The Rescuers Down Under. The Video Dealer Announcement was omitted on the original VHS/Beta release of Disney Sing-Along Songs: Heigh-Ho (later pre-1990 printings omitted the warning screens entirely), Mickey's Christmas Carol, the first five Walt Disney Cartoon Classics volumes, and Bell & Howell/Columbia Pictures/Paramount Video Services pressings of Mickey Knows Best, The Importance of Being Donald, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The Spanish variant appeared on the Spanish-dubbed tapes of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.
Visuals: Same as warning screen 5, except the background is grass green and the words are bolder and are in decidedly different fonts and positioning. In late 1997, the fonts were revised and the second screen was rephrased, replacing "LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY" with "THIS VIDEOCASSETTE (or DVD or LASERDISC) IS FOR PRIVATE HOME VIEWING ONLY. IT IS NOT LICENSED FOR ANY OTHER USE." The fade in on this second variant is also faster.
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on almost every Walt Disney Home Video, (standard, Classic, or Masterpiece), Buena Vista Home Video, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures releases from the 90s. Began appearing on Miramax, Dimension Films, DIC Toon-Time Video, ABC Video and ESPN Video releases after Disney took over the following companies.
Legacy: This is probably one of, if not the most recognizable of FBI warnings; as a result it is occasionally parodied (such as the 2002 Deluxe Edition DVD of Men in Black, which had a parody of this screen after Sony's warnings right before the menu).
Visuals: This is an enhanced version of the 1984 warning. On a blue background, a red vertical bar at the left of the screen is seen containing the white text "FBI" in bold and a colored FBI logo below that. At the right of the bar is the standard FBI Warning from before. The second screen showcases warning text about the video being only usable in educational settings:
Technique: Still, digital graphics with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on 1990s Walt Disney Educational Productions tapes, as well as Bill Nye the Science Guy DVDs from WDEP.
Visuals: Same as Warning Screens 5 and 6, but it now takes place on a blue background, with the warning text and the second screen now in mixed case; the second screen also includes the duplication warning (previously exclusive to Canadian releases). On DVDs, the FBI Warning would cut right to the second screen instead of fading to black to the second screen, and the word "DVD" replaces "Videocassette". In the late summer of 2003, the second screen was modified to include more info. (which co-existed with the original version until March 2004.)
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on many home media releases from the company from this time period.
Legacy: Like the 6th warning, this is one of the most recognizable FBI warnings.
Visuals: The same generic warning screen used since 2004 with a modified font. This came after the second screen of the previous warning.
Variants:
Technique: A still, digital graphic. VHS releases have cross-dissolve transitions as well.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on numerous Disney/Buena Vista releases from 2005-2013 beginning with the DVDs of Baby Einstein: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons, The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin, The Barefoot Executive, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., and The Million Dollar Duck, all released on March 8 and April 12, 2005, respectively.
Legacy: Same as the previous warning.
Visuals: Same as the post-2007 British Blu-ray warning.
Variant: On early Blu-ray releases pre-2013, the first screen is followed by an Anti-Piracy warning screen, which has the text "ANTI-PIRACY WARNING" in red, with different text below in white.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on all Disney/Buena Vista Blu-ray releases since 2011, and 4K UHD releases since 2017.
Visuals: Same as the other companies' warnings from 2012 and 2013.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on all Disney DVDs and Blu-rays since January 2013, starting with Frankenweenie. The first warning appears in the beginning, while the second warning appears in the end.
Visuals: Same as the British warning, but the text is replaced by the following:
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on most American DVD releases that include the Canadian French language. [Examples?]
Same as the VideoVisa warning screens at the time. This was because VideoVisa distributed Disney tapes at the time.
Visuals: On a light blue background with a Buena Vista Castle pattern, the following text is seen in a yellow font with a black outline and drop shadow scrolling up:
Variant: The early version of the warning has the following text, which is in a smaller font:
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Found on Mexican tapes at the time, such as Tarzan, Finding Nemo (Buscando a Nemo), and The Incredibles (Los Increibles).
