As a contributor to that page, I second Diego’s information.  A
cursory search on this list’s archives will show how many times I
asked for the removal of several versions, more or less corrupted, of
the Almeida revisada text.  I even asked the Brazilian Baptist
Convention to allow for the free usage of that version, which is now
out of print being superseded by Almeida 21 (XXI).

Just a note about that message:

> Alguém digitalizou o texto da “Almeida Revisada Segundo os Melhores
> Textos”, da Juerp, publicada em 1967, portanto ainda hoje protegida
> por direitos autorais. Contudo, publicaram o texto como se ele fosse
> de domínio público.

That translates to a doubt about someone having digitised the 1 967
text.  Actually, I never saw an electronic copy of the ’67 text;
instead, Juerp itself licensed the 1 974 edition to be sold in floppy
disk, which I may still have at home, and which carried no protections
against copying.  Since then that text has been everywhere (for
instance, an Android App called ‘Bíblia Almeida Atualizada Pão da
Vida’, whose author I contacted to no avail) in various degrees of
corruption — some copies have no diacritical accents, have several
words missed or misspelled &c —, and as Juerp went bankrupt the
situation never changed.
