One of the origional copy protection schemes for diskettes could damage your
hardware if you tried to copy one. They would put holes in the physical
diskette and store the files around them so that the head didn't hit them unless
you tried to copy the diskette. Time moves on, distructive copy protection will
come back again and again. The producers of the product think you need to be
punished for trying to do things they don't want done with it.
I call it Road Rage In The Digital Age!

By "original virus" I assume you're talking about something other than
PERVADE and the ANIMAL program?
