Hi dsellers
I have spent most of today writing an article of a topic that I know little about and although what you suggest sounds very appealing with regard to knowledge and timescale, its just not worth the risk.
You might trick the search engines but you cannot trick the people who read the actual articles and as Duncan has said it is copyright infringement. The last thing you want is to feel an angry authors wrath, especially if they are in the same industry!
As a compromise, think of what you want to write your article about and use the internet as a research tool. if you must quote an article, then be sure to link back to the resource you are quoting. for example:
Statistics as reported by

And yes use your own words. Who knows maybe you can write it better than the other article writers out there.
