Freelancer.com: Same Content on Different TLD?

[jombay]

Take a look at freelancer.com and freelancer.in.

Both have the same content. I check for rel=canonical and freelancer.in has one to itself. Not to the .com version.

Both the sites are indexed in Google as well.

Do you think high authority sites like freelancer can get away with duplicate content?

Did you see the alternate language tags?

<link href="http://www.freelancer.com/" hreflang="en" rel="alternate"><link href="http://www.freelancer.com.au/" hreflang="en-AU" rel="alternate"><link href="http://www.freelancer.co.nz/" hreflang="en-NZ" rel="alternate"><link href="http://www.freelancer.mx/" hreflang="es-MX" rel="alternate">This is the method they choose to serve the correct domain to the correct audience.
