You're allowed to make copies for your personal use, so no need to worry about doing anything illegal there.
It's a good idea to make copies of all your cd's for everyday use, and store away your originals somewhere safely. That way if you scratch them up, you'll always have the original to make another copy of...

Anyway, a scratched up cd might be able to be fixed, but if it's only one cd I'd just go out and buy a new one(or even second hand, if you can find it).
