So if I put this tag on every page of my site because of our extensive partner network is a source of major duplicate content. Would the 3 search engines see this as abuse?

Will Google handle this the same way it does with other blocked pages and sometimes add the physical URL in the SERPS?

What is the difference between this and the robots="NOINDEX " tag.

How is the link juice distributed via the canonical tag? Would these links be devalued or not counted at all because of the canonical tag?

I'm very hesitant to release the hounds at the moment.
