Which is which?

Everybody understands the importance of having unique and valuable contents, especially after the Google panda/farmer update.  For me, it sounds a bit late if you aware that only after the hit anyway.   If you hire copywriters, you should always check the copies from them and make sure they are not copying from any other sources.  I was told by an agency in Hong Kong saying that it is okay to have duplicated contents. Well, it is totally wrong.  According to the Google guidelines, duplicated content could be discounted , even if you are an affiliate of a products, the description of the products should be different from the vendors.  So, pease try to stay away from duplicate contents!    You may ask: how could we ensure that our contents are 100% unique?  You can do a quick check on copyscape.  The beauty of this tool is that it will check the uniqueness of a URL, and return a % of plagiarism warning if there’s any.  You should check each and every contents before getting them live!!   You could also copy and paste the contents to Google and run an exact search and see if there’s any duplicate results.
