That's a fascinating (if not somewhat disappointing) thing to learn!
To be honest I'm not a Bible scholar, I had asked claude for the full version of "ask and you shall receive" (apparently Mathew 7:7). I guess Claude somehow knew this KJV copyright thing perhaps? Still bizzare nonetheless to learn.

That copyright is only valid in the UK.
> the KJV is copyrighted in the UK
But that only applies if you are subject to UK law right?
