- Main article: MGM Home Entertainment
North American Warnings
1st Screen (October 1980-March 1982, 1984)
Visuals: There are some warning text scrolling up. The word "WARNING" appears in a cream color, while the Warning text is in white. Everything's in capitals.
Variant: In the last two months this warning was used, the text from the next warning replaced the standard text from this one.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: On all MGM/CBS releases of the era. This warning also appears on the 1984 CBS/Fox release of S.O.B., but at the end of the movie (MGM/CBS originally released the film in 1982 as part of their label).
2nd Screen (April 1982-May 23, 1990, 1991, 1992)
![](/w/thumb.php?f=MGMUAHomeVideo1987Warning.png&width=300)
Visuals: There is the Warning screen scrolling up. The word "WARNING" is in red with white outline between two white lines; the warning text is in white and now appears in lowercase. The black bars are at the top and bottom of the screen, but faded.
Variants:
- On classic MGM movies made in black-and-white, the warning is grayscaled.
- On laserdiscs and CED Videodiscs, "cassette" is replaced by "videodisc".
- On releases from MGM/CBS Home Video's "First Run Home Video Theater", a different warning spiel was used, which includes contact information to report pirated cassettes.
Technique: Same as the previous Warning screen.
Audio: None.
Availability: On all MGM/UA releases from the era, as well as the last releases under the MGM/CBS name. Also seen on Wood Knapp Video releases of United Artists and MGM films, as well as a couple of Nova Home Video and Junior Home Video releases at the time. For an odd reason, this appeared on the original VHS releases of Thelma and Louise and The Man in the Moon, possibly as an editing mistake on MGM's part. Finally, this warning can also be seen on the 1992 reprint VHS of Fiddler on the Roof, because it was a reprint of the 1990 VHS.
3rd Screen (June 13, 1990-August 30, 2005)
Visuals: On a black background, there is the word "WARNING" in red, with a drop shadow. Below it is the following text, in white and in Helvetica font:
PENALTIES FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION,
DISTRIBUTION OR EXHIBITION OF COPYRIGHTED MOTION
PICTURE VIDEOTAPES OR VIDEODISCS. 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 $250,000.00 FINE.
LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY. ANY
PUBLIC PERFORMANCE, COPYING OR OTHER USE IS STRICTLY
PROHIBITED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Variants:
- On promotional tapes (or known as demo tapes or screeners), the text "LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY" is replaced with "LICENSED FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY".
- On earlier MGM DVDs such as the 1997 DVD of GoldenEye, the warning contains more vertical space on the top and bottom, and the text on each paragraph has less spacing. A version with a darker red color for "WARNING" is also present on these DVDs as well.
- Most MGM DVD releases from 2001-2005 have an updated version of this warning. A brighter shade of red is used, and the text is in the Futura font (except for "WARNING", which is set in the Franklin Gothic font).
- On some tapes, the warning is slightly off-center.
Technique: A still, computerized graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability:
- On all MGM releases from the era (with the exception of the 2002 NBC.com exclusive VHS of It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, which had no warning at all; however, the 2003 VHS of that same movie had this warning). [Examples?]
- Also seen on New Line Home Video releases from 1992 to 2008, including Seven, as well as HBO DVD releases and some WarnerVision/KidVision releases. [Examples?]
- When Sony acquired MGM in 2005, it went on to use the warning screens from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. MGM then switched to Fox's warnings when the home video rights were acquired by Fox the next year. Starting in 2020, with the end of MGM's video deal with Fox following its acquisition by Disney, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment now handles the home video rights to MGM's catalog titles (as well as releases of current and former MGM-produced TV series and Orion Pictures films, beginning with the 2020 remake of Valley Girl). Meanwhile, current MGM movie releases distributed through United Artists Releasing are distributed by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and would use their warnings.

Same as the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment warning screens at the time.
5th Screen (2006-November 19, 2019)
Same as the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment warning screens at the time.
