Will this be considered Fresh content?

[spirits999]

Consider a paragraph of 500 words. If i copy content from the net and place it on my site with tweaking all the sentences in a different style and using synonyms without changing the meaning of the actual sentence. Will it be considered as fresh?
For example
"For the benefit of members, all titles should reflect the content of the post. Titles are extremely special cases."
I change to
"The titles have to reflect what the content of the post consists. This would be beneficial to the customer as they are extremely important cases"

For users, no.

For spiders: yes, it is.

Thanks for that Lexur.
Does anyone else have a contradiction on this.

If you mean will it get filtered from search results as duplicate content, that completely depends on how much tweaking you do.

And if you mean is it a copyright violation, that would have to be decided in a courtroom. It definitely could be a violation of copyright (IP theft does not need to be verbatim) but it might not be.

No.. Not in terms of copyrights. But more specifically in terms of SEO..
