Just fired up the 1990 Kevin Bacon classic Tremors.
At the beginning of the movie, even on Netflix, it had the old 'Do not copy $250,000 fine, so forth and so forth warning'. I had almost forgotten that movies started that way.
What was the last movie, and or, year they stopped putting that at the beginning of movies?
I went looking for info, found a really weird rabbit hole

The internet is weird
Dood, I'm STILL seeing that warbley white text on blue background INTERPOL warning from 1977!
I used to live next door to a local video store in my small town. I'm having flashbacks
I know someone that had a pirate copy of The Empire Strikes Back on betamax, while it was still in the theaters. I didn't see that warning....
In reply to RealMiniNoMore :
I remember being in New York City once in a pretty decent neighborhood and a guy having a fold-up card table on the sidewalk selling movies. My mother and sister were looking it over while my father was stopped looking at a map, and I walked over and started looking at the DVDs he had for sale too. Literally every movie he was offering was still in the theaters at that time.
Seinfeld. "Death Blow."
