Hallmark Home Entertainment/KingWorld Direct (Warning Screen)

(1996-2003)
Warning: On a black background, the word "WARNING" appears in white with a red line underneath. The following text appears below:

Unauthorized duplication is a violation of Federal copyright laws.

Then, we fade to a new screen. Same as the PolyGram Video warning from 1993-2002, except the words "FBI WARNING" in red and in Helvetica font, and white text below in Helvetica Condensed font.

FX/SFX: The fade from one screen to the next.

Music/Sounds: None

Availability: Seen on releases from KingWorld Direct, Haber Video, Hallmark Home Entertainment, and the obscure series The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald.

Legacy: This warning screen has a few mistakes. On the first screen, "federal" is needlessly capitalized. On the second screen, "and" is misspelled as "amd," and "video discs" isn't pluralized. Did they even bother to proofread this before sending it off to the video processors?
