Just change some words the name and bang you have a copyright free Bible. Instead of old text use modern words. Instead of specific named books Call them chapters or sections 1 through whatever number of books are in the bible.
Problem solved.
Soldout, if it were only truth, then there would not be so much controversy. Heck, the different versions of the original biblical texts to prove that. The truth can only get stretched so far before it breaks.
Sorry about the double post. the line got hung up, (Timed out) last night, it said the first one did not go through and the same with this one, Oh sure computers never wrong
There was a time when only certain people were allowed to read the Bible and the common folk wanted to be able to. Now, you can virtually get a free one and no one cares to read it…go figure.
Interesting post Bane. I guess that I couldn’t doubt that people try to make money off the Bible. After all, isn’t that what got you to look into the Copyright law? But I don’t think that profit is always the motive. I remember when one of the churches I attended published some original music/lyrics. Their lawyer recommended getting a copyright to protect the church. It seems that there have been cases of people copyrighting uncopyrighted published material and then filing a suit against the original publishers for copyright infringement. People are sooo clever sometimes.
Sorry to get off topic here for a second, but I think receipes can not be copyrighted or plagiarized. If they are sold in printed form, they can copied and put out on the internet if it is desired.
