I WAS COPYING GAME OF THRONES THAT A FRIEND ASKED ME TO COPY FOR HIM, AS I GOT TO SEASON 5 FILE EXPLORER STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BY THE END OF SEASON 6 IT WOULD NOT SHOW THE THUMB NAILS AND WOULD NOT LET ME RENAME THE EPISODE. THEN FILE EXPLORER WOULD TRY TO LOAD BUT WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY. I COULD PLAY THE SHOW. SOMEONE SUGGESTED THAT THE STUDIO MAY HAVE ADDED A VIRUS TO PREVENT COPYPNG.

In theory, yes.
In actuality, not recently.
It's been a dozen years since a LEGITIMATE disk company (Sony) tried that, and they did it on a CD, rather than a DVD or BD.
It's actually easier to do on a video disk, but a bigger no-no for most legitimate vendors. I have not heard of GoT being used in this way.
By the way, "all caps" is harder to read on modern computer hardware. You might want to start using mixed case.
