It would be greater if people stopped buying fake chains. If they aren't an authorized dealer don't purchase from them. Instead of the onus being on KMC to provide you with a way to figure out what is real or not just buy from a retailer authorized to sell their products and you will be getting something genuine. If you stop giving money to the fakers and those who support the fakers and sell their fake products with no morale scruples they will stop existing or will be pushed further to the margins.

There is no need to actively support these folks. Jeff Bezos, Andy Jassy, Jack Ma and Eddie Wu will still be billionaires (maybe Jassy is only a multi millionaire but I doubt that highly and even still 400+million is a lot of money) without you buying fakes from their website. Buy the real stuff and sure you won't """""""""""""save""""""""""""" a few bucks but you will be getting the genuine article and will have support from the actual real company that makes it. That random fauxtory that cranks out the fake products won't support anything and the sites that sell the fake stuff really isn't going to support you so you screw yourself and KMC and all those who work for KMC and sell actual real KMC products and so on and so forth.
