I believe it is perfectly legal to emulate the a CD drive and mount an img of the disc on it as long as you have paid for and own the actual game. That's what I do.
Right. I had the same problem as well, I simply downloaded Alcohol Software and copied the disc. Alcohol 120 gives you a free 30-day trial, use that to copy the disc and emulate the CD drive. When the trial expires, you get to keep the disc images you make (the copies of the disc) on the harddrive (unless you copied it onto another disc), and you can then use DAEMONtools to keep mounting the image.
A note about DAEMONtools: don't install any of the free software that comes with it, just install the basic DAEMON emulator. The free software is spy/adware.
