Pirated tapes are recognisable by poorly presented or photocopied jackets, poor sound and/or picture quality, the lack of censor and other labels on the face and spine of the tape, and the absence of warnings, such as this at the beginning of the tape presentation."

The Japanese release had these as well, and they are included in the extras.

** During TheNineties, the Malaysian VHS/VCD company Berjaya HVN had an anti-piracy awareness message to help viewers of their programs to recognize a genuine HVN VHS. It included a genuine label hologram (either a Disney hologram for Disney tapes or just a white sticker with copies of the HVN logo on it) on either the spine of the cover or the cassette's spine, a blue videocassette skin, etc. However, it was inside the VHS which stores the cassette (also called inlays), and now HVN's tapes are long out-of-print, with seemingly no one being interested in taking a scan of the ad (or even posting it online), thus putting the message [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes in lost territory.]] That was it, until on February 14, 2022, when a [=YouTube=] channel named "The Video Archive" posted a video called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRLI9SfUpe8 "Quick-Fire Collections: Malaysia,"]] in which the video uploader showcased a few Malaysian [=VHSs=] he bought and also showed the inlaid warning messages for a while.

* Music/TheEraserheads were featured in the Joey de Leon comedy film ''Run Barbi Run'', with a subplot involving their efforts at cracking down on a crime syndicate who were bootlegging their music. Around that time, illicit duplication of cassette tapes and CDs was rampant in developing countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia, hence why record labels and artists themselves took action to curb on pirating.
