will this hurt SEO?

First, you have to forget about all the answers above.. Really, I don't know where this forum is going to.. !

Second, I will answer your question in points :-

1 - There is no such a thing as duplicate content penalization. Google don't care about you copying other people content, however, the real owners does and might file a DMCA Complain. As long as they don't, google don't give a s**** ... So, duplicate content penalty is a myth.

2 - So, what does google do when it faces 2 same pieces of content ? They show the one on the more authoritative domain and archive the other. So, if ranking is your goal, you will need either very high authoritative domain to replace the original publisher page in the serps, or you will need unique content.

3 - If you are using copyrighted unique content, like from a book or whatever, then, point number 1 applies, it will rank, but i the original owner files a DMCA complain, google will be forced to remove it.

Hope this clarifies you question.

Hmm I am not really agree with the point 2, as far as I know, Google check the date of creation from the 2 sames pieces of content and decide to rank the oldest one that it considers to be the original. Authority is not so important here, because otherwise it will be far to easy for the high authority domain to steal content.

That isn't true either, i have lots of leadgen sites with 1000+ pages with 98% of the same content on the same domain ranking for years now, there is no dup content penalty, period.

Why these so called expert think there is, is beyond me i know for sure that they NEVER run any test to come to that conclusion, must be learned from one of the Google mouthpieces as MOZ or searchengineland

So called EXPERTS says it from experience and learning. You should also read some stuff like this:

Source: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en

"If your site contains multiple pages with largely identical content, there are a number of ways you can indicate your preferred URL to Google. (This is called "canonicalization".) More information about canonicalization.

However, in some cases, content is deliberately duplicated across domains in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings or win more traffic. Deceptive practices like this can result in a poor user experience, when a visitor sees substantially the same content repeated within a set of search results.

Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has a "regular" and "printer" version of each article, and neither of these is blocked with a noindex meta tag, we'll choose one of them to list. In the rare cases in which Google perceives that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we'll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. As a result, the ranking of the site may suffer, or the site might be removed entirely from the Google index, in which case it will no longer appear in search results."
