I agree that unique content is going to be best on your own site. I wouldn't say using someone else's article is worthless though. A search engine might not like it so much, but your visitors still might like reading an article they wouldn't otherwise find themselves.
You shouldn't make all your content free articles, but there's no reason why you can't use them at all.
When I started my blog I used some articles to fill it up so there would be something there for people to read while I wrote new content for it. Several of those articles have consistently brought search traffic my way.
