If a website has duplicate content then search engines will penalize that website for having a duplicate content. On the other hand, if the website has a high Page Ranking then in that case it’s good for your website but bad for the search engine point of you. Most of the high ranked websites refrain from copying and pasting articles from other websites because if they do so then it will certainly affect their ranking on search engines. What is important is the uniqueness of the content in a website that holds its importance.
