It first appeared on ''Welcome to Pooh Corner, Vol. 1'' and ''Five Mile Creek, Vol. 1''. It can also be seen on 1985-1991 [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] releases as well. The version with the Goudy Old Style font was seen only on the last releases to use this (including the reprint of ''Disney's Sing-Along Songs: You Can Fly'', ''Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree'', and compilations of episodes of the television series ''Dinosaurs''). The regular version last appeared on ''Fantasia'' and a screener VHS of ''Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken''. The one with the different font than the standard (which slideshows) can be seen on old 80s Walt Disney World promotional videos. The one with the font that fades in after the background can be seen on the original release of ''The Brave Little Toaster'', the 1991 Canadian VHS print of ''The Rescuers Down Under'', and the [[Walt Disney Mini Classics|Mini-Classics]] release of ''Peter and the Wolf''. The one which slideshows can be spotted on the 1988 American print of ''Alice in Wonderland''. The prototype variation is rare, but can be spotted on the original 1984 prints of ''Splash'' and ''Mickey's Christmas Carol''. The Spanish-translated variant has been spotted on a 1986 Spanish VHS of ''Mary Poppins''. Palladium Books tapes used the first screen. |

Visuals: On a white background, a red vertical bar is seen at the left of the screen, featuring the same FBI logo design as most warnings. At the right of the bar, in the Exotic Bold font, is the standard FBI Warning text from the previous screen:

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 FINE. |

Each screen lasts about eight seconds before fading out.

Audio Variants:
Availability: Seen on releases from mid/late 1984 to 1991, like Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Robin Hood, and tapes of TV shows like DuckTales and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. It first appeared on Welcome to Pooh Corner, Vol. 1 and Five Mile Creek, Vol. 1. It can also be seen on 1985-1991 Touchstone Home Video releases as well. The version with the Goudy Old Style font was seen only on the last releases to use this (including the reprint of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: You Can Fly, Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree, and compilations of episodes of the television series Dinosaurs). The regular version last appeared on Fantasia and a screener VHS of Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. The one with the different font than the standard (which slideshows) can be seen on old 80s Walt Disney World promotional videos. The one with the font that fades in after the background can be seen on the original release of The Brave Little Toaster, the 1991 Canadian VHS print of The Rescuers Down Under, and the Mini-Classics release of Peter and the Wolf. The one which slideshows can be spotted on the 1988 American print of Alice in Wonderland. The prototype variation is rare, but can be spotted on the original 1984 prints of Splash and Mickey's Christmas Carol. The Spanish-translated variant has been spotted on a 1986 Spanish VHS of Mary Poppins. Palladium Books tapes used the first screen.
Visuals: Same as the previous warning, but it's on a dark red background and is contained in a rounded rectangle border, not unlike the previous warning's Spanish variant, on the first screen, and the 2nd has bigger spacing in-between the lettering. All the text is now in a bold Helvetica font as well. This can be seen as a prototype for the next warning screen.
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: It can be found on the original Classics print of Sleeping Beauty (either VHS or Laserdisc), as well as the 1986 Classics reprint of Pinocchio and an early 1987 print of The Three Caballeros. It can also be seen on most 1986 Disney tapes (your best bet are ones that also have the Video Dealer Announcement on them, such as A Tiger Walks, and the first video releases of Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore). This was also found on American copies of Ruthless People, while Canadian copies use the previous warning screen (with the Video Dealer Announcement intact on both versions). This was also spotted on a 1990 Canadian copy of Turner and Hooch and demo tapes of Big Business, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Mr. Destiny, The Jungle Book (1991 release), and The Rescuers Down Under. The Video Dealer Announcement was omitted on the original VHS/Beta release of Disney Sing-Along Songs: Heigh-Ho (later pre-1990 printings omitted the warning screens entirely), Mickey's Christmas Carol, the first five Walt Disney Cartoon Classics volumes, and Bell & Howell/Columbia Pictures/Paramount Video Services pressings of Mickey Knows Best, The Importance of Being Donald, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. The Spanish variant appeared on the Spanish-dubbed tapes of Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too.
Visuals: Same as warning screen 5, except the background is grass green and the words are bolder and are in decidedly different fonts and positioning. In late 1997, the fonts were revised and the second screen was rephrased, replacing "LICENSED FOR PRIVATE HOME EXHIBITION ONLY" with "THIS VIDEOCASSETTE (or DVD or LASERDISC) IS FOR PRIVATE HOME VIEWING ONLY. IT IS NOT LICENSED FOR ANY OTHER USE." The fade in on this second variant is also faster.
Audio Description: A warning appears. Federal law provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures, video tapes or video discs. Licensed for private home exhibition only. This videocassette is for private home viewing only. It is not licensed for any other use. All other rights reserved.
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on almost every Walt Disney Home Video, (standard, Classic, or Masterpiece), Buena Vista Home Video, Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures releases from the 90s. Began appearing on Miramax, Dimension Films, DIC Toon-Time Video, ABC Video and ESPN Video releases after Disney took over the following companies.
Legacy: This is probably one of, if not the most recognizable of FBI warnings; as a result it is occasionally parodied (such as the 2002 Deluxe Edition DVD of Men in Black, which had a parody of this screen after Sony's warnings right before the menu).
Visuals: This is an enhanced version of the 1984 warning. On a blue background, a red vertical bar at the left of the screen is seen containing the white text "FBI" in bold and a colored FBI logo below that. At the right of the bar is the standard FBI Warning from before. The second screen showcases warning text about the video being only usable in educational settings:
Technique: Still, digital graphics with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on 1990s Walt Disney Educational Productions tapes, as well as Bill Nye the Science Guy DVDs from WDEP.
Visuals: Same as Warning Screens 5 and 6, but it now takes place on a blue background, with the warning text and the second screen now in mixed case; the second screen also includes the duplication warning (previously exclusive to Canadian releases). On DVDs, the FBI Warning would cut right to the second screen instead of fading to black to the second screen, and the word "DVD" replaces "Videocassette". In the late summer of 2003, the second screen was modified to include more info. (which co-existed with the original version until March 2004.)
Variants:
Technique: Still, digital graphics, sometimes with cross-dissolve transitions.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on the mass majority of, if not all home media releases from the company from this time period.
Legacy: Like the 6th warning, this is one of the most recognizable FBI warnings.
Visuals: The same generic warning screen used since 2004 with a modified font. This came after the second screen of the previous warning.
Audio Description: The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal.
Variants:
Technique: A still, digital graphic. VHS releases have cross-dissolve transitions as well.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on numerous Disney/Buena Vista releases from 2005-2013 beginning with the DVDs of Baby Einstein: Baby Monet: Discovering the Seasons, The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin, The Barefoot Executive, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., and The Million Dollar Duck, all released on March 8 and April 12, 2005, respectively.
Legacy: Same as the previous warning.
Visuals: Same as the post-2007 British Blu-ray warning.
Variant: On early Blu-ray releases pre-2013, the first screen is followed by an Anti-Piracy warning screen, which has the text "ANTI-PIRACY WARNING" in red, with different text below in white.
Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on all Disney/Buena Vista Blu-ray releases since 2011, and 4K UHD releases since 2017.

Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on all Disney DVDs and Blu-rays since January 2013, starting with Frankenweenie. The first warning appears in the beginning, while the second warning appears in the end.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on most American DVD releases that include the Canadian French language. [Examples?]
Same as the VideoVisa warning screens at the time. This was because VideoVisa distributed Disney tapes at the time.

Variant: The early version of the warning has the following text, which is in a smaller font:
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Found on Mexican tapes at the time, such as Tarzan, Finding Nemo (Buscando a Nemo), and The Incredibles (Los Increibles).
