He said "buying physical copy"... post below:

I for one will never purchase any film unless I get a physical copy.

Downloading the copy to your hard disk or buying it on DVD is both buying physical copy. At no point it becomes a non-physical copy.

In the first case, the physical copy stored on the company server's hard disk is being transferred (over the internet, physically non-the-less) to your PC's hard disk where it is again a physical copy that you bought.

In the second case, the physical copy stored on the company server's hard disk is being transferred to the DVD which you then buy.

I am quite certain that a non-physical copy of anything cannot exist. Maybe some magic in fairytales.
