Reorganization and duplicate content

    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the work of rebuilding my website's core from scratch but I'm facing a little challenge in my reorganization. I'm afraid that if I move a page, SEs see it as duplicate content. Am I correct in my assumption?

    To give an example, the following link:
    www.ambitionsnowskates.com/community/media-page-update

    will become:
    www.ambitionsnowskates.com/news/media-page-update

    I'm still using the /community page, so I don't want to disallow access to it. Also, we have a products page where our main product (which changes yearly) is shown by default. In the menu, there's a link to this product, and more over, in this product page is a link to change the image (no javascript, passing a $_GET variable). In other words, I have three links that give exactly the same content:
    http://08.ambitionsnowskates.com/products
    http://08.ambitionsnowskates.com/products/7000
    http://08.ambitionsnowskates.com/products/7000?v=0

    Should I worry about this? Just how 'flexible' can a SE be about duplicate content? I'm all ears to what you have to say, thank you for your time!

    Use a 301 redirect. That would do the trick.
