This should provide the answer:

In a nutshell, they penalize domains where the content is too similar (aka
duplicate) to that of another domain.  Your best bet would be to only have
one version of the site, and redirect calls to the other domains to it.  Eg,
all calls to http://domain.com get redirected to http://www.domain.com, or
visa versa.
