LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The FBI said Thursday it is giving Hollywood film studios, music companies and software makers permission to use its name and logo on their DVDs, CDs and other digital media in hopes the labels will deter consumers from making illegal copies.

It was so effective on VHS tapes in the 80's.

Did anyone in the 80's watch a VHS tape with the FBI warning without making some sort of sarcastic comment about being arrested? It happened every time. Even when you were watching a legit purchased or rented copy, some jackass always had to chime in with, "Uh oh! Close the blinds! They're onto us! HAR! HAR! HAR!"
