Yes, which is why you shouldn't publish the articles you give them on your own websites.

Do you have anything specific your worried about?

Ye always want UNIQUE content on your site. Don't write? Pay some one whom does.

Some info on Duplicate content issues

SNIPPET

That said, there still seems to be some confusion out in the SEO world over â€˜duplicate contentâ€™ and how search engines treat and deal with them. Right away I would like to say - RELAX -. If you are doing sneaky things like filling up a site with dodgy content that YOU KNOW is duplicate, then worry. Most people that may have duplicate content issues are honest web site owners and arenâ€™t at risk of any penalization.

Is it really a Penalty?

That is the crux of the main misconceptions. Generally speaking it is a â€˜duplicate content filterâ€™ not a â€˜penaltyâ€™ per se, as many in the SEO world seem to agonize over. At various points in the indexation and retrieval process, various documents (web pages) are scored and ultimately removed from the results for a given query.
Certainly, if one satisfies other â€˜spamâ€™ factors or has an entire site of duplication (aggregate) then it can certainly migrate into a penalty. As I said, for the average website owner you shouldnâ€™t have to worry about penalties, most that migrate to this ground, know the path they are on. Penalties can also be incurred for what is known as a "mirror" - the penalty for a site that is more or less substantially duplicating another single site.

Types of Dupes and what to do;
There are a variety of ways the average website can run into duplicate content filtering problems without even knowing it.
Here are some common ones;
Websites with Identical Pages â€“ Sometimes a company/individual will try to actually compete with themselves by creating other versions of their sites on a different domain name. Not a good idea. Affiliate sites with the same look and feel which contain identical content, are certainly not a good idea either. Regardless if itâ€™s one site o many, create unique content throughout.
Scraped Content â€“ this is content directly taken â€˜verbatimâ€™ from another site. This is obviously not a good idea.
E-Commerce Product Descriptions â€“ another common problem is ecommerce sites that use the same product descriptions from their manufacturers site. Once again â€“ unique content. Write your own product descriptions. Also - if you have product pages with nothing substantially different from other pages: â€¦then add fresh content.
Distribution of Articles â€“ Do not publish articles you are using for distribution on your site. Some people will say to let the SEs index it first and then distribute it â€“ this will not work. If you have 2 articles, put one on your site and the other into circulation.
Mirror sites: 1 website, 2 domains â€“ If you are trying to utilize 2 domains, simply forward the secondary domain to the primary at the registrar level. Do not build 2 sites that are indentical
Home Page URLs.- Having multiple home page naming conventions and Back Links to those multiple root domains. The best way to tackle these is via 301 redirects.
Here are some examples of what I mean;
http://www.example.com
https://www.example.com
http://www.example.com/index.htm (asp/php)
https://www.example.com/index.htm
http://example.com
https://example.com
http://example.com/index.htm
https://example.com/index.htm
http://www.example.com/home/
https://example.com/home/

Canonicalization issues,- confusing the bot: these are caused by dynamic URLâ€™s. Often the bots may be returning a different URL with the same contentâ€¦These are the long URLs with parameter strings the you see with many dynamic applications. These are not good as well â€“ use the 301 methodology to ensure page naming conventions are tight.
Print-friendly pages; -. believe it or not, our little bot friends can follow the links to the printer friendly page and consider it duplicate content. For this be sure to use the robots.txt to forbid them from said pages.

Boiler plates; - Pages with too many common elements that are very similar, including title, meta descriptions, headings, navigation and globally occurring text/copy. Boilerplate content is considerable amounts of text repeated on a substantial number of pages on a site.
