No, as I've said, the part of the law that does is this:
<http://www.copyright.gov/title17/circ92.pdf> Page 69
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an
infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to
make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of
that computer program provided:
(1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an
essential step in the utilization of the computer program in
conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other
manner,
You've already been quoted a court case that gives enormous latitude
to which changes may be considered "essential", and that latitude
includes adding new functionality.
