Summary[edit]

Screen capture of the television show Perfect Strangers. I took this image myself. Copyright is likely owned by Lorimar Television. It is believed that using a limited number of screen captured images is fair use of copyrighted material. This image is intended for the Balki Bartokomous article. It might also be used on the Bronson Pinchot or Perfect Strangers articles.

Fair use rationale[edit]

Fair use is claimed in the Balki Bartokomous article because this image provides a picture of the character that the article is about, so it provides a visual identification of the article's subject. It is only one single frame of the opening credits, so using this image for free will not take away from the commercial use of the television show.
