Well, no ,it's not a good idea for the simple reason that the spiders will read them as duplicating content and will penalize the websites for the same. This penalty can range from a decrease of your
PR , completely bringing it to 0 i.e gray
pr to delisting your site on the search engine and you can't resubmit your site to them till the next six months thereafter. So, original content is the best way to go.
