Contrary to what most people think, Google ordinarily won't do anything to your blog for copying and pasting from other websites. However, if any of the websites you copied from should report you to them, they would remove all your pages from their rankings. But they still won't pull down your blog or do anything to it. So, if you're not expecting any traffic from Google, you can fire on.

Note, even if the website you copied from doesn't report you, you'll never get traffic from Google for copied post because the original owner of the content gets indexed first. That way, Google knows you're not the owner of the content, and there's no point duplicating results by ranking yours too.

However, if the website you copied from reports you to your hosting company, the company can pull down your blog because it's domiciled with them. That's if the hosting company is in the the US or other developed countries where copyright is taken seriously. In any case, they won't do that until after warning you to delete all copied posts.

So, if you're not looking at Google for traffic, you're free to copy and paste, but you'd do well to include a link to the source. In reality however, copy-and-paste blogging makes zero sense. Look at this: If you copy a news item from Punch's website, would you still expect me to read it on your own blog after already reading it on the source website?

It's either you find a way to craft unique content or go home. Not blogging at all is better than copy-and-paste blogging that fetches zero results, except for those who can invest heavily in other traffic strategies, most of which are poorly understood by beginners.
