Producers of Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” music video have quietly removed archival footage of Black Lives Matter rioters after Fox threatened legal action, according to a new report.
The footage in question is a brief series of clips from Fox 5 Atlanta showing BLM rioters violently protesting in the streets, TMZ reported. Sources told TMZ the company that produced the video reached out to Fox back in May and asked for permission to use the six seconds of news footage.
Fox reportedly asked for more information, specifically the lyrics of the song. But the production company sent Fox a link to the song rather than the lyrics in writing.
A week ago, Fox reached out to the production company and asked them to edit out the footage to avoid any legal action and the production company complied, TMZ reported. Sources described the request as a “polite ultimatum.”
The re-edited “Try That in a Small Town” music video replaces the BLM riot footage — projected on the front of a courthouse building — with shots of Aldean performing the song.

They probably could have won the case against Fox, since it clearly falls under the “fair use” exception to copyright law.
However, they likely don’t have the resources to match Fox in the lawfare department, and could be bankrupted before they’d win the case.
Any patriot that thinks at Fox News is in their corner is an idiot.
How will he ever find footage of ill behaved blacks now?…
To be fair, I think BLM was more anarchist whites than blacks…
Looks like the Ministry of Truth has decreed that from now on the violent democrat-sponsored riots of 2020 are to be thrown into the Memory Hole
Stupid guilty white conservatives... when you have that much ‘racial guilt’ it means you’re a hidden racists.
Also, there is plenty of BLM riot footage that wasn’t taken by Fox (or purchased by them). Aldean’s people could probably reach out to independent journalists on twitter that were covering the riots (like Andy Ngo) and ask them for permission to use their footage.
FOX has gone full far-left Dung Beetle.
In order to have a hidden guilt, you must be guilty of something...................
Phuck Fox
“Don’t show the truth”
To be fair?
“BLM” is nothing if not a vehicle for freakizoid Caucasian dyed-in-the-wool anarchists.

FOX doesn’t want you dummies to remember the Black Looter Movement’s riots, looting, cop killing and destruction while the BLM Africans are still trying to swindle America out of trillions of dollars.
How will he ever find footage of ill behaved blacks now?…

Spend an hour or two in Chicago.
There’s plenty of blacks involved as well.
Just go to WorldStarHipHop.
There’s miles of footage out there from friendly sources.
Music video producers should always cya. Make your own via reenactment or get permission to avoid this later.
Well we will just have to put it back in with our version of the song. Someone get busy.
