So I've read other threads and basically if I wanted to rank a new blog site, avoid duplicate content. When I saw one ranking on 1st page, I did a copyscape check and also did manual phrase checks and it looks like there's at least 10 other sites using the same content. Question is,

1. how much percentage wise would it need to be re-written or spun.
2. Is it even worse, collecting from multiple sites and pasting it as one article for a single topic?
3. Does changing the published date "trick" google?

There are many tools which allow to determine content uniqueness. I used Quetext. If you want you can use such tools to find out how unique text is.

Based on what Kyle Roof has tested, the content has to be at least 51% unique. Take it or leave it.
 
How about porn pics sites. Almost all have duplicated content (images) and still get huge traffic
 
If you want to rank on the first page your content has to be as unique as possible. Spun content are really for tier 2 or tier 3 really or web 2.0's.
