They rarely contain every word. They usually only contain non-mundane 
words. This is not enough to reconstruct the text.
Besides this, the words are utterly out of the text order.

How about i sue a bunch of authors that use English because their works 
contain all the word (albeit out order) that are in my copyrighted work?

The trademark is really the issue here i think.

Why don't you make a concordance called "NOIV Concordance" that stands 
for "Not Old Internation Versional"? You can have a link to a webpage 
explaining that this is not the NIV but a concordance to a "similar" 
translation. That way you can circumvent the whole absurdity. :P
