It is not the original (in this case, it’s not the real 4chan website)
Usually this can also imply that it is cheaper than the original. For example, let’s say you really want to watch a movie but you don’t have access to it through Netflix or on DVD, etc. You might go to a website that has this movie for free. That is a rip-off site.

@karlyr0514 it doesn’t mean only that but pirated sites are included in that.
Another example is if someone makes something that is very similar to another’s and claims it as their own. It’s not pirated because it isn’t the same exact site. But, it is similar enough to know that they are modeling their site after the original!
