That is talking about the Chafee Amendment, which is an entirely different part of copyright law. It is unrelated to the DMCA exceptions. Maybe that is why people are getting confused?
Your quote is talking about exceptions to copyright itself. What we're talking about are exceptions to the DMCA and removing DRM, not the entire copyright. They are two completely different things.
