Copying free articles

I recently found out that you can copy and post free content to your site. You will not even have to face any negative consequences of the same. Do you think this is possible? To the best of my knowledge, content duplication is heavily penalized by Google. You also run the risk of having your site banned. It appears to be a stupid attempt to generate traffic. I will never copy articles and have them posted onto my site. I don’t want to get banned. What do you guys think about it? Copying content definitely amounts to penalization.

Actually you can copy those content but, try to spin its sentences and replace the words with a good synonym. After that you can now have your own article or content.

If you copy articles and then you work with them and change them and then you leave only the idea, but use your words, it won't be a problem, but if you copy wihtout any changes at all, it's not good.

Ya if you copy and paste any article on your site then you may be penalized by Google. Article spinning is the best way if you found really good content. Else in my thoughts the best way is to write your own copy. You can take ideas from other articles but write your own as original is original. It's the best practice.

If those are your articles and you own it's copyright then I don't think there's a problem with it.

I know copying and pasting of article is not good. But sometimes we would have no time to write articles.

One should rewrite the copied article and try to replace the words by synonyms.
