They do that, but they are pretty bad at it. They also communicate to ignorant users that it's possible to prevent copying, which isn't true. That's a pretty bad side effect.

BTW- an EULA is not the same as a copyright license. An EULA is a contract, subject to contract law. A copyright license is not subject to contract law, which means it's binding even lacking things like an exchange of consideration or meeting of the minds. You don't need to "Agree" to a copyright license, it just "is". It's an important point.
