Two problems with this:
1. Click-wrap has already been through court before too. It was decided that it's fine to force people to have to agree to a EULA before use (before installation or after an update being a stipulation as well as the EULA being visible in it's entirety) and that the agreement, even if the person didn't read it, was still valid if they clicked agree and continued.
2. The RIAA has nothing to do with software only music... In fact there isn't even a unified software copyright / license enforcement agency. There are a couple copyright enforcement groups that act in stead of a few larger game development firms, but that's about it. Companies like Stardock have no one enforcing their copyrights and have been screwed over a couple times because they release their games without copy protection since they're fundementally against DRM (see Gamer's Bill of Rights).
