Could I be penalized?

Oh yeah, I wanted to add something.

When you said "could I be penalized", I interpreted that as "could I be hurt?".

True "penaltys" are quite rare, all thing considered. SE problems are almost never penalties.

What can happen is that your pages could be lowered in serp ranking, or put into supplemental results. This isn't a "penalty", altho it can feel like one, and you could say it is one for all practical purposes.

So, "penalized" = no.

"Dropping in the serps" is a possibility. Not necessarily a large one, but a possibility.

Even just seeing somebody else rank above you or near you using your text has a high suckage factor.
