Is duplicate content really an issue on different International Google engines?

i.e. Google.com v.s. Google.co.uk

This relates to another question I have open on a similar issue. So if I open the same e-commerce site (virtually) on company.com and company.co.uk, does Google really view that as duplicate content?

I would be inclined to think they have that figured out but I havent had much experience with international SEO...

Yes it is a problem it is advisable to use new content for each new market, Never use the same content on say a .com and a .co.uk

It is also advisable to use content from local copywriters for local based content.

I have seen many instances where only a .com's content is indexed because duplicant content is seen on other international TLD's.

Huge bummer. I thought you may say that. Thanks.
