I didn't know about Kiddicraft, thanks TIL.

It might not be true at the piece level, but some sets on some websites(ali, etc.) are exact replicas of lego sets, bar the brand. Down to the manual. Hence the use of "counterfeit".

Ouch, that's bad. I wasn't aware of those, and yes, I agree, that's a good use of the word counterfeit.
