As far as I can tell, the most prominent argument is that it's a different copy due to stuff like the resolution being different, if you own the DVD copy and download the Blu-ray, that's what they get you on. I imagine that works the other way too.

IDK. The laws are a mess and the courts are largely bought and paid for by the copyright holders.
