With software you accept an EULA. It's just a technicality due to the law being in place with books and movies, so it's implicitly considered your obligation there, which is, I agree, not nice.

You'll just have an EULA for books and movies to accept.

Your arguments for that situation?

EDIT: Also I don't get how it's still not a condition violated. Don't see any decipherable arguments except for silent downvotes.

Except when you didn't even agree to EULA. For example you buy laptop that comes with windows preinstalled and dump disk without launching windows. Or you use public computer(for example in library). In neither examples EULA was accepted.

You'll just have an EULA for books and movies to accept.

Also there is no such thing.
