Wayne hit is right on the head. If you scratch the label side and it hits any of the reflective layer I will guarantee you it will not play on that region ever again. You might have a chance if the scratch is on the data side.
That said, be very careful. A lot of people have been under the impression that you can scratch the label side and it will be okay.
CDr's actually have the reflective surface just below the label itself and it is not embedded in the disc at all. That said. I like to pretend that is the case on every disc because you can't be too careful.
