1. How is he suppose to get official parts?

2. He is using parts made by the same company that made exactly the same chips. Is that Counterfeit?

3. He is using parts he scrapped from other Apple Computer when those parts are not available.

Unless it is outside those three options, I dont see how it is Counterfeit.

He can get official parts by becoming an Apple service provider.

And yes, parts with Apple logos stamped on them that are not actual Apple parts are by definition counterfeit.

He already addressed his concerns with this two years ago here: https://youtu.be/0rCUF-V1esM and here https://youtu.be/ANSkQ4gmEkg

Apple still does not provide him the parts required to do the board repair that he's known for, even if he did sign up for their authorized repair nonsense.
