Not true at all in fact the copyright issues in regards to captions are more
rigid than the rules in regards to print media unless you are in a state
like California that specifically provides for an alternate solution.

I believe Kevin is correct. If you are in the US, copyright doesn't really
apply to captions, electronic copies, etc. made of copyrighted materials. It
comes under the provisions of Fair Use if I am not mistaken.
