Why is not having identical encrypted copies a problem?

The key will decrypt each copy to the same plain text plus the salt,  
which you can ignore.
So everyone will look at the same message after decryption.

You can use GPG to send the key over an encrypted channel as long as  
you have their public key (and they have GPG installed and a key pair).
