What about a bootleg bible?


Copyright laws are ridiculous but not that ridiculous.


Your translation of an out-of-copyright work gets a brand new copyright. Most bibles are copyrighted.


Most Bibles I've encountered were King James versions, but I have a very biased history so I don't know which is the most spread.

Still, it's pretty easy to get a church to give you a Bible, I think the Gideons will send you one, so not the best choice to bootleg.
