I was gonna ask you where you get your smoking compound, but on second thought it seems likely somebody drizzled some shroom squeezin's over it, so no thanks.

The "Psystar concept" is hardly unique -- product theft and unauthorized piggy-backing in various forms have existed for as long as businesses have been in competition.
If you mean the particular act of trying to ignore Apple's uber-restrictive license, of course that's being done by individuals all over the globe -- but Apple tolerates individuals. Psystar's fatal error was trying to do it on a large scale and spit in Apple's eye and that of the law as well. That inane audacity earned them their well deserved Gong Show accolade.
The best part is that the Psystar guys were complete idiots about this. By pre-installing the software on the machine they violated the law.
If they were smart (and like dennis, they’re not) they would have sold it as something like the OpenComputer and advertised it as being able to run multiple operating systems including Mac OS X, but that it was unsupported. There wouldn’t have been a thing in the world Apple could have done then. The bundling and installing was the stupid part and what put the nail in their coffin.
Edit unsupported/unsupported and not included.
There is a firm in the Dallas area that is doing exactly that and Apple has said that they don’t have a problem with it so long as they don’t bundle/preinstall OS X and leave that up to the purchaser.
