Back in the late 1990's, when this internet thing was really starting to take hold, a good friend of mine and business partner claimed the following..."The internet is going to turn into the world's great big copying machine".  It's so easy to cut and paste some content and post it.  Thank God the people at Google etc. have figured out ways to penalize the thieves that want to take the short cuts and steal others hard work and intellectual property.  The rule is: provide original relevant content in your posts.

I love the free market system.  Supply and demand.  We the people want relevant results when conducting a search, and that's what the search engines strive to give us.  Copying other people's content will only put you behind the 8 ball.

Actually, don't even flood the system with your OWN content, they will catch it and penalize the site.

Check this out....

Duplicate Content

Spam sites sometimes try to collect page views by duplicating the same content on multiple pages.

Don't copy and paste large amounts of text from your own pages, and certainly don't violate copyright by copying content from elsewhere. Google has been known to ban sites that duplicate too much content or at least severely penalize their ranking in search results.

This can occasionally cause problems, because some spamming Web site might be duplicating your content. If you find someone violating your copyright this way, you can let Google know.
