There IS a function that rewrites the text, but it's not there because of the smoke-and-mirrors "duplicate content filters" the SE's supposedly have.
If they DID have them, all of my sites would have fallen out of the rankings LONG ago, and our customers wouldn't see the results they do.
I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just pointing out that you may have fallen in to the sheep-trap of SE conspiracy-theories.
Ever see this?

It's ALL syndicated .. if they had a penalty, wouldn't they apply it to THEMSELVES, too?
As best I can tell, the "duplicate content" theory is about sites on the same network ... so you don't just put up 50 copies of your own site.
