There are plenty of articles and other content on the internet the you can find that you are allowed to republish on your website. Additionally, there are always those people who will steal content that they aren’t allowed to use, despite it being copyright infringement.

I recommend you do not use other websites’ content, whether you have permission or not. You need original content. Search engines are smart enough to know when a page has very little original content, and won’t rank it high. Also, why would your users come to your website if it only republishes content that can be found elsewhere.

If you want to have a successful website, you need to have original content and provide your users with something they want that they cannot get just as easily somewhere else.
