I seem to remember reading that there was at least one manufacturer that had copy protection that relied on physically damaged media. I think the disks had holes punched through certain spots (tracks?) using a laser. The protection involved having the software try to read from that damaged spot while loading. If the read was successful, then the disk was an illegal copy.

I'm not sure if there's a way to "properly dump" something with deliberately damaged media.
