    If you’ve promised to not copy to get what you copy - it’s quite close.

    You never promised to not copy anything. You were given a copy, are allowed to create copies, but agreed to not distribute copies for income.

    I can purchase a book, copy the book for my own use and purpose, but not redistribute copies of the book, especially for income. Once the distribution process affects income, then it’s claimed to be harmful.

      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.
