1. RE: Bible in EDB Format
I think Mr. Trick also asked about other translations.
C.K. was free to distribute the KJV because it's basically in the public
domain. NIV, NAS, NASB, etc., etc. are all copyrighted and you are not
allowed to reproduce these without consent.
Actually, Derek, if you read the site where C.K. found the .txt files (I
don't have it in front of me) the author makes a case that the KJV is
the ONLY version and anything else is from the "bad guy". Judge for
yourself.

Yeah, I'd love to have the Amplified, but I think it's copyrighted. If
somebody can point me to where other translations are available in text
format with one verse per line (like the KJV was), I'll make databases
out of those as well!

Oh, the "Not Inspired Version." :P

I think that because the NIV is copyrighted, you'd have to get
permission to do that.

See http://ebible.org/bible/web/
>From the webpage:
The World English Bible is a Modern English update of the
American Standard Version of 1901.
Both are in the public domain.
There are various formats available for downloading. The one
you'd probably want is this:
http://ebible.org/bible/web/web_olb.zip - contains a one
verse/line ASCII database without poetry/prose formatting
