If you read the details of that case, the software was specifically licensed for a limited time (it's talking about signing up for the Blizzard WoW service), and not sold. The basis for the ruling that they violated copyright is that they did not own the software. That is different from eBooks.
The way that Blizzard sells their service in order for that ruling to apply is fundamentally different from how retailers sell eBooks.
