A childhood belief about films

I used to believe (and I still believe my demented kindergarden teacher put this belief into our heads) that the FBI warning at the beginning of videos prohibiting unauthorized copies meant that we could not act out anything we saw on the tape, that is to say, copy their actions. So when I was the only one who stood up and imitated the dancing on the tape, the entire class screamed at me to sit down, and I have felt the first of many traumatic school experiences...it was only until 3rd grade I learned that copies of movies could be made, something we learned to do quite rapidly with our spare VCR and Blockbuster membership..
