digital copy
File-based replica
A digital copy is a file-based version of something that exists or could exist in physical form—a document, photograph, film, or recording stored as electronic data rather than on paper, film, or tape.
Digital copies can be duplicated perfectly and distributed instantly: I have a digital copy of the contract.
The term often appears in media contexts, where purchasing a physical disc may include a digital copy for streaming or download.
