if there are duplicated contents… Before Google will implement penalty, google will look first the site age. In that way,search engine can tell who posted first…
Actually there’s no penalty for duplicating content, Google just doesn’t rank the duplicated page well, but for some reason why sometime it ranks better than the original page. It can be confusing issue sometimes but I guess it’s just for temporary till Google realized that it’s duplicated page thus it drop the rank to its proper place:D.
