CD's with a hole drilled or the plastic melted in front of the barcode can also be a demo or freebie 
copy. CD's sold to NARAS members through ARS used to be marked this way.

The other situation you might run into is one where one corner of the
album is cut off. This also indicates the record is from a cut out
(remaindered) bin.
Cd's can have a hole drilled or melted into the corner of the case. What
the fumes from the melted plastic can do to the CD can't possibly be
good.

Not a stupid question at all.

I think it means the records have been remaindered.
