If you have the same content that 50 other sites have google will try to take a guess, using domain authority, as to what the original site might be.The rest just get thrown in to supplemental or they rank horribly.
Duplicate content filter is that: a filter.Your site wont get banned or penalized, it just wont rank.

Wordpress sucks at this.You have duplicate posts everywhere: on the archives, the category pages,tag pages,etc.
Again what happens here is that google just picks the version of the content that it thinks might be the original one on your site.
That happened to me on my first blog: all my domain.com/post/feed pages where getting indexed and the actual posts where nowhere to be found.
