"Do not create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content."
However adhering to this is nearly impossible for, say, newspaper sites, since identical press releases are posted on many sites and, of course, many manufacturers' agents sites have identical content.
Google does not ban sites for duplicate content it merely smacks those down it does not like so much!
My opinion, no problem, however if you really want the definitive answer ask them.
