What is a "fake DSM-5"? It is a book, anyone can copy it, legally or not.

Why would someone go out of their way to produce different content if they are going to violate intellectual property anyways, be it trademarks or copyright?

Sorry, counterfeit is more accurate (edited original comment) - director mentioned a number of previous students who ordered their copy from Amazon and got DSM 4s or copies missing huge sections of diagnostic criteria, etc.
