Is there any legal precedent on what qualifies as "copying"? By the time you are even presented with the license agreement, you already copied the program several times (unless it is a thin installer that litterally avoids downloading the content until you accept).

Well in this case of a video game. There was a loader loading the image into ram then hot patching it. They deemed the loader copying it into ram was copying. IANAL but sometimes they take the term copying very literally.
