I believe you can get a replacement from id or Activision; at least, you 
used to be able to, not sure they'll still do so with such an old game. 
Alternatively you can probably get hold of a fresh copy for a few 
pounds/dollars/euros/whatever your local currency is <g>

It's been posted to newsgroups, but it was about a month ago. You will need 
access to a server with very good retention.
alt.binaries.ftd, a.b.ftn and a.b.games all have it. 

You can probably pick one up on ebay for $5 or so

Any filesharing program would probably do.

I don't think I want to spend some $$ on ebay or anywhere else.

And the ISO version I've downloaded from file sharing appz is the hacked
version that lets you play without a CD KEY.

I already have the CD and a KEY, what I need is the ISO on the CD because my
CD is scratched.  

where can I find the alt.binaries.ftd and a.b.ftn and a.g.games newsgroups??

i'm using newsgroups provided by verizon, I'm new to newsgroups.

Any help will be appreciated, I'm going to contact ID software and see if I
can get help from them.

I don't think there is any such thing.

In Usenet. Just like this group.

Forget about it.

Update your current quake3 files with the latest point release, and put your 
fucking cdkey in there. End of problem.

Hm, then you'd better get a CD-fixing package and hope for the best.  If you 
think about it you'll spend about the same money on that as a replacement 
CD, yes?
