Thanks SpazX for not being a complete ass. I don't see what's so bad about asking for disk scans. Last I checked, it wasn't illegal to distribute the pictures on the disk...
My question was actually because I can't seem to get a good picture of my disks. I've been trying for a while on my *legit* Zelda disk, but the lighting is never uniform enough.
So I guess it looks like I'm going to have to either buy a scanner or find someone with one. Thanks anyways.

Try turning the flash off and then puttitng it under some soft light.

I've been trying to play around with lightscribe with my backups (yes, legit backups). However, due to the uneven lighting that happens with my pictures, the lightscribe printing always comes out with a white hole in the middle where the flash was.
soccerstud, thanks for the suggestion. i'll give it a shot. need to find a tripod first though. my hand isn't nearly steady enough for soft light shots.

if you dont have a tripod just turn off the flash and put the camera on a table, on top of a book or something, then setup the disc in front of the camera lean it against another book or whatever. don't handhold anything. then use the timer on your camera. if you have a desklamp or something and need to soften the light, put a piece of white printer paper loosely around the lighting element, just don't start a fire.
does lightscribe work with any discs or do you need special media?

Actually, it is illegal to do so. The disc artwork is copyrighted. That doesn't stop people, and generally the companies don't care too much, but it's still illegal.

Wow, I didn't know that. I apologize for asking then. Don't want to get anyone in trouble.
There's no good reason that I want to lightscribe my backups. Right now I'm doing the "write on it with a Sharpee" method above. But I haven't done anything with my lightscribe drive since I bought it, so I thought this would be a cool little experiment to try it out.
Once again, my apologies for asking for the disk scans. I didn't realize that they were illegal to distribute. I'll just go back to playing around with my camera.

If something happens to your game disc you can get replacements at a very low cost from most game makers. There's a Fair Use argument brewing here.
I also find it hard to believe that someone would go through the warranty-breaking and expense of modfying their console (which you must have done unless you want useless backups) only to ensure that they have secondary copies of your games. In other words, the OP's "totally innocent" stance doesn't hold even a drop of water.
