Be careful, you might get exactly what you wish for.
Duplicating stolen articles is not a recipe for success, neither is setting up a network of interlinked subdomains.
Both are unlikely to help you for long, if at all. And taken together you have neat case of SEO suicide.
Amazon can afford loads of subdomains, as can Google, Yahoo! and many others.
But YOU are not those sites, and you are proposing to slice your site into separate little bits.
remember Quadrille's Oft-Quoted Tenth Law
Divide your site and be conquered.
There's a myth going around that starting multiple sites on one topic is somehow a good SEO 'trick'. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you have one topic, much better to have one site, removing all risk, halving your marketing / seo effort, and concentrating your ranking strength.
A divided site means incoming links will be divided between domains, rather than all coming to one - further damaging your ability to do well in search engine rankings.
And there is zero doubt that duplicating your own pages increases marketing effort, reduces ranking, and often confuses customers. There really is no good reason for dividing your efforts.
The same applies with multiple sub-domains; it may work for the Big Guys - it's most unlikely to work for you.
It has been suggested that the 'one site rule' could be damaging; "All eggs in one basket and all that." I think that's a matter of conscience. I never heard of a sound and safe site having anything to fear; it's the naughty boys who stand to lose by this rule! The single caveat is to keep an eye on Google; search engine advice does change. Not enough, ever, to destroy a site that has always been clean - but over a period of time, the emphasis does change, and things that never mattered, suddenly do.
