You can read a history of the legislation and the provision of the law
that provides this copyright exemption at:
http://www.nfb.org/law/copyrigh.htm
there is no stand alone copyright exemption law. It was included as part
of a large appropriations bill by the U.S. senate. After this
legislation was enacted, a report a few years later from the National
council on Disability found that similar legislation is needed for deaf
persons to close-caption a television program or videotape because a copy
is created in the captioning process, in violation of the American
copyright law.
