The KJV has always been under some form of copyright in the UK; indeed, it's still under a perpetual copyright there. I think it's public domain everywhere else though.Come on, the King James Bible isn't British. It is English. It has never been in copyright so far as I know, having been published in 1611. But for a certain section of the Christian world the copyright belongs to God, whose direct Word it is.
I'm not sure where that leaves those who profit from its sale.
Well, technically I think it's some kind of royal prerogative rather than copyright, but it amounts to the same thing in that you can't print it without permission there.
