This is precisely why it's important to fight DRM which limits ones ability to do this. If they can't find a way to protect their copyrights that doesn't involve preventing me from doing what I'm prefectly legally allowed to do, tough shit for them.
I'd look a bit harder...perhaps even contact the publisher and complain. It's a long shot, but maybe if you send in the scratched disc they'll replace it. Just gotta complain loud enough
