Important: Most material performed in public, such as concerts, plays, and
movies, or distributed on prerecorded video tapes is copyrighted. The unautho-
rized recording or duplication of copyrighted material is a violation of the copy-
right laws of most countries and such duplication may result in fines,
imprisonment, or both. Note, however, that in the United States, it is not a viola-
tion of U.S. copyright laws for a consumer to record a broadcast television pro-
gram for private (in-home) viewing.
