In certain commercial sectors you are actually required/suggested to physically destroy a hard disc after overwriting it many times you are not allowed to chance that other parties can obtain personal/sensitive information of a hard disc. Sectors that require you to definitely do this include the Defence sector, but any sector where you have people's personal information e.g. financial , you are required to dispose of their data carefully. Therefore destroying it under this context is not illegal if in the correct timeframe/situation.

Wouldn't it be "fun" required you to destroy the data, but another prohibited it. It wouldn't be the first time such contrary laws have appeared.
