You can have an eula on anything, it's a contract. You don't need copyright to enforce terms that two parties have agreed upon. The only thing copyright can do is force anyone in possession of copyrightable material to honor a eula. If you can only get software through approved channels, it's hard to avoid an eula. You would have to obtain it through the same pirated channels you have to now.
