No, the British crown holds it and enforces it in England as I understand it. The U.S. has always ignored it but who knows, maybe that would change with this agreement.”

Yeah. My Thomas Nelson Bible (printed in Belgium) is sure enough copyrighted. But if you go here http://ebible.org/kjv/kjv.htm (University Of Virginia) you’ll see it’s public domain. Not sure what Nelson is copyrighting.

Ah, one can copyright a typesetting of a text, and even a font! New printings of old books always retypeset them then copyright the combination of text and font. (I am not kidding.)
