This raises another problem. Often updates are in compiled binary.
How can Psystar keep up with system changes distributed from Apple?
Reverse engineering these changes won't be trivial.

Also, since they have modified software that attempts to protect
Apple's intellectual property (i.e. their hardware) aren't they in
violaion of teh DMCA 2000?

cheers
