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.

I'm pretty sure I'm feeding a troll here -- I don't think that this guy is really this obtuse.  Anyway, the term is clearly defined in the Digital Copy wiki.  A file on your hard drive is NOT a physical copy, as the term is understood:

Digital Copy is a commercially distributed computer file containing a media product such as a film or music album. The term contrasts this computer file with the physical copy(typically a DVD or Blu-ray Disc) with which the Digital Copy is usually offered as part of a bundle

Not matter how clearly it is defined, it completely violates the term "physical" and is therefore wrong.

Just like when people are used to call native Americans "Indians" when in fact they are not Indians at all.
