Is it scratched? If so polish it vigorously with 'Brasso'. No joke, its a mild abrasive. Toothpaste also works but is a bit harsher ( dont forget to floss as well!)

no its practically gone - i mean i wont even insert it in my macbook anymore in fear of it not coming back out

You could try eBay, there's always a few floating around there. How did it get scratched? If it got scratched in your Mac's drive you should take it up with Apple. Otherwise there's a thread going here about trying to get a replacement for a lost CD from Apple, you could try pursuing a similar route, since you bought a software licence rather than just the medium, but you may not get anywhere with them.

If you purchased it with your credit card, you may be able to claim from them; however there may be a time limit on such a claim as well as a excess so get cracking.
