Help! I need to copy a copy protected CD

Options
I want to make a copy of a games CD ( Need for speed – PC version) the reason being that my nephew is always fiddling around with it and hence it has quite a bit of scratches on it already. Problem is that the copy protection on the CD doesn’t allow me to make a copy using my current software – Nero. :(

Does anyone know where I can get some software that will allow me to make a copy?
I don’t want to pay a lot for the software since it’s just a one off CD copying, so even an evaluation copy would suit me fine ;)

Any help would be much appreciated.
My reality check bounced.

    yes, but they still need to defeat the copy protection on the NFS cd to make an ISO image.

    anyway, i think breaking copy protection is against the forum rules

    yes u r right but virtual disk does not condone breaking copy right protection Its legal to back up games/software/data if you own the original copy and you do not sell them or so i thought

    A direct ISO copy might do the trick, I like to riip ISO's using ISO creater by Lucersoft. All you then have to do is burn the ISO to CD.
