I mean that the legalities around software are not fundamentally different. The culture around software sales is different. Buy a music CD in a box, no EULA. Buy a software CD in a box, EULA. For no apparent reason.

Most music CDs default to "all rights reserved", Movies on the other hand usually have an agreement only allows personal use, as in You cant open a theater and show DVDs.
