Video-Rodven (Warning Screens)

1st Warning (Mid 1980's-1990's)
Warning: 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.

Translation: "The copyright owner has licensed the cinematographic work, including its soundtrack, contained in this videocassette for home use only. All rights reserved. Any total or partial disclosure of the work through copying, editing, addition, exhibition, rental, exchange, loan, diffusion and/or emission of public exhibitions or any contract that implies total or partial representation or reproduction of this videocassette, without the express consent of the owner, is strictly prohibited and the performance of any of these activities will incur legal responsibilities to the offender and may also give rise to criminal penalties."

Technique: Unless you count the scrolling, none.

Audio: None.

Availability: Found on Venezuelan tapes distributed by the company, mainly Disney releases.

2nd Warning (1990's-Early 2000's)
Warning: On a black background, we see the following text in a yellow font wipe in bit-by-bit:

'ADVERTENCIA El titular del derecho de autor ha licenciado la obra audiovisual contenida en este videocassette, sólo para uso personal y doméstico del adquiriente. Cualquier utilización distinta está prohibida. Las copias ilicitas y los aparatos utilizados para la reproducción serán objeto de secuestro y destrucción.'

The aforementioned text cuts away to make room for the following text:

'Los infractores serán sancionados con multas, acción por indemnización de daños; así como, prisión de 6 a 18 meses para las comuniaciones públicas no autorizadas y de 1 a 4 años por la reproducción, introducción al país, venta, distribución o puesta en circulación de copias ilicitas.

The illicit copies and the devices used for reproduction will be confiscated and destroyed. Violators will be sanctioned with fines, action for compensation of damages; as well as imprisonment of 6 to 18 months for unauthorized public communications and 1 to 4 years for the reproduction, introduction to the country, sale, distribution or circulation of illicit copies.
