And in many cases, what's written in the software license or EULA is not legal in the country it is sold in. For instance Norway guarantees two years of guarantee on electronical products (hardware, not software). Even if the joystick manufacterer prints "AS IS, NO GUARANTEE" in big letters all over the box they are still forced by law to provide me two years of guarantee.
Microsoft state everywhere (including in their EULA, I think) that you cannot resell their software: If you pick up a copy (or license, as they call it) to XP in a store you cannot sell it on to your neighbour. I don't think this has been tried in court yet but there are postings on the net about Microsoft breaking the law in a lot of countries by this clause (effectively making that section invalid).
(I cannot guarantee for the correctness of any of the 'facts' above, I'm probably remembering a lot wrong I'm just trying to demonstrate some principles about law).
