Evite el fraude, que perjudica tanto al consumidor como a las compañías distribuidoras y a los legítimos propietarios de los derechos de autor.

The scene then fades to black, as the previous warning starts, albeit with a Buena Vista Castle pattern background and the following text:

Esta grabación está protegida por la ley. Los titulares del copyright solo autorizan su distribución para uso doméstico, y su exhibición en un magnetoscopio que no esté conectado a una red de difusión de cualquier tipo.

 * When Disney tapes that were released after 1993, an instrumental of "Be Our Guest" plays instead.
