How does copying a DVD damage it?

I rented a movie and when I took it out of the box it looked strange; the data side was all patterned and the DVD player just put up a flickering checkerboard. When I went back to the store for a refund, the manager just looked at it and said, "Oh, somebody tried to copy this". I'm curious. How can just reading the disk damage it?

    In this situation the disk might have already been scratched some.
