It is illegal to copy and distribute entire copies (or substantial portions
thereof) of copyrighted works (including, but not limited to copyrighted
Bibles) without the permission of the copyright owners. In most cases with
copyrighted texts, that involves a signed agreement outlining conditions
and royalty payment terms. If you don't have that permission in advance,
then you risk getting sued for damages, lost royalties, and other such
nasty things.
