The Family Home Movie Act 2005 carved out an exception for this in 17 USC 10(11): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/110 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/110

Other transformations have been done on webpages forever. In fact blocking all images was a built-in feature of most browsers until a few years ago.
