Video-Rodven (Warning Screens)

1st Warning (Mid 1980's-1990's)
Visuals: On a sky blue or background, the word "ADVERTENCIA" in green wipes downward, followed by the following text in yellow:

"El propietario del derecho de autor ha licenciado la obra cinematográfica  incluyendo su banda sonora contenida  en este videocassette sólo para uso  doméstico. Todos los derechos quedan  reservados. Cualquier divulgación total  o parcial de la obra sea a través de  copia, edición, adición, exhibición,  alquiler, intercambio, préstamo,  difusión y/o emisión de exhibiciones"

The text then disappears and is replaced by the following text:

"publicas o qualquier contrato que implique representación o reproducción  de este videocassette, total o parcial,  sin el consentimiento expreso del  proprietario, esta terminantemente  prohibido y la realización de  qualquiera de esas actividades hará  incurrir al infractor en  responsibilidades legales y podra dar  lugar, además a sanciones penales."

The aforementioned text scrolls up.
