Heck yeah it bothers me! Because it devalues the product. The most infuriating thing is when I see it done to a collectable item,like limited editions. Why would someone deface a collectable item, its just stupid!

To me it's like showing off your new 50" TV with a cracked screen.

You really enjoy viewing the back of a CD case the same way as viewing a TV screen? Or is a CD more for "showing off" than listening?

I call them "bullet holes." They used to bother me (aesthetically), but not so much anymore. Same with light scratches on the discs. I've mellowed over the past few years when it comes to condition. If it plays, it stays.
However, if I had a choice between one with a bullet hole and one without, and they were both the same price, I'd choose the one without.
I still dislike saw-cuts through the spines, since they're visible from the side when the CD is on the shelf and are rather unsightly, but that practice seems to have gone the way of the dodo, so it's not really an issue anymore.
A lesser pet peeve are the half-moon impressions in the front insert caused by the jewel case tabs when the booklet is improperly inserted into the case. So annoying because it's so easily preventable. Still, not a deal-breaker if the price is right.
Water-damaged inserts are a real turn-off, though.

I like the "If it plays, it stays." motto. I hate the slit too and promptly replace the case. Once I received one with insert "glued" together like a deck of cards. That really annoyed me but I actually found a replacement at Goodwill later. Who knew?

I don't mind the bullet holes and saw cuts.
It's like the cd has a voice, saying "I know that I am scarred and unattractive... but you still love me".
Mine say, "Clever boy! You got me cheap, but I sound just like new!"
