Generaly speaking, a lot of publishers are willing to do this. Some of the more devilish ones want you to provide your upc, original cash reciept, damaged disk, video of events leading up to said damage, fingerprints, and various dna samples however.
If you go this route, *call* them, be polite, explain your situation calmly to the idiot on the the phone. When said idiot says you need all that crap, explain to them that you didn't keep all that crap, and you're really upset that you can't play the game anymore because of the accident. Next, said idiot will tell you no dice, and that's when you get the gm/sup whatever, and re-explain it all to him, probably with good results.
The downside is that between mailing the disk back to them, and them probably charging you shipping to get the replacement, and Morrowinds age, you probably wouldn't save any money as opposed to buying a brand new copy for 10 bucks or less.
