James, you are mis-stating the Chafee Amendment.  It says that a 
nonprofit, can provide access to copyrighted works to qualifying 
blind and print-handicapped persons without having first to get 
permission from the copyright holder.  It doesn't say "free".  So, a 
qualified nonprofit could at least recoup its costs.
