If the content of a site is on another site and the other site has a plain-text url to indicate the source of the content rather than a link that can be clicked on (this is on several pages of the other site), would the content from the source be given credit as the source of the information?

Or since the links are plain-text, is it possible that the site where the information is from is not recognized as the source and the other site is? Does the site where the content is originally from then have to deal with duplicate content issues?
