I thought a duplicate content penalty meant that multiple pages on your own site or within your group of domains causes a division of page rank. Exact or near exact copies of pages without enough page rank from multiple domain sources simply get filtered from the results...

Some people say that Google is not penalising websites, but if the action by Google causes a website to slip in rankings, then it is, in effect, a penalty, even if Google argues that it is not.

There is a difference between what some feel are on site structural issues with a website which may result in an on-site penalty and competition. In your case competition shouldn't be confused with duplicate content... but that's jmo...
