You Said:

"It depends on the rest of the code and content on their version of your page. If their page is an "exact duplicate" of yours, then you would be in big trouble as they are likely to have more PR and more "authority" than you. Yours would likely disappear.

However, in reality, their page is likely to be coded quite differently, have different navigation, and maybe some extra stuff wrapped around your content, and so your pages are likely to survive in the index -- but their version of the page is still likely to rank higher than you for that same content.

If their version of the page contains a direct link to the exact page on your site where the same content resides, Google might be able to figure out that you are the originator."

Would that apply also to products listed on froogle? I would not think so seeing that froogle is a part of google?

So then, why would different rules apply on different shopping sites such as Amazon vs Froogle?
