Dangers of Article Networks like UAW, articleranks, Seolinkvine etc...

Today i log in to my ******* article distribution account as every day and i am approving some articles which are supposed to go on a high quality site of mine.

(This is a site where i am working hard on rankings for over a year already. I am proud of that site since it has nice and unique content.)

So i see that one article arrive asking me to redistribute. Since the niche of my site is very specific i am glad there is an article for this niche!

I am also pretty certain that the article had a good rewrite percentage, like 50%+, otherwise i wouldnt even allow it on my blog.

So the article gets posted, and it reads like a really well written and good article.

I select the first paragraph of the article and put it in Google - and here i see a 1:1 word for word copy of that article on some major web site!

How on earth can this be? I thought the articles are getting spun?

Needless to say that it might be very bad for my rankings, i don't think that having a word for word copy of some major site content would benefit my site AT ALL (mildly spoken...)

The other problem is that this WILL cause problems with copyright holders and site owners - especially once your own site starts ranking well....its simply a big no-no to steal other site's content and put it on your own site.

Add the fact that some of my OWN articles are sitting there for 3 days already not getting distributed....

YES....i submitted tickets and will see what's happening the next days.

Needless to say i am "little" ticked off right now...
