That's a tried and true method for copying a board, remove all of the
components and put it on a scanner.  For a single-sided board you could even
skip the unsoldering phase.  

Clean up the scan and make a transparency.

It's probably only worthwhile if you only need a few boards (you need to
drill them by hand etc) or you have lots of patience.  (try toner tranfer!)

Still, the occasional pirated board surfaces with the original manufacturers
logo (in copper) on it, so it is possible to do a decent product run this
way.
