Well, where I come from (the Netherlands), you are *allowed* to make a backup of your discs. However, you don't have a *right* to make backups. I.e. if you can't make a backup because of copy-protection, that's tough luck.
On the other hand, if a copy protected disc is damaged, and the company that made it then refuses to send you a replacement disc, I see no reason why you shouldn't get a copy from a less legal source. You paid for the license to play the game, so you should be able to play it, one way or another. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I'm allowed to download games as long as I own the original. But of course, it could be different for you guys... (Hell, according to Dutch law, I can legally download any piece of music, as long as it's for personal use...)
