Actually, since 'the word' is written in languages other than English (or
French, German, etc.) it isn't about that.
The copyright is on the particular translation. Open *any* bible and you
will find that a particular organization (usually some church-related body)
owns the copyright to that translation - not the original words themselves,
or even 'the word' as a whole.
