Can someone ask our Monarch to cancel the "All Rights Reserved" on the A.K.J.V. please?

It has long since ceased to have any legal significance as a phrase so would be surprised if it still appears in modern editions - where copyright applies it is automatically implicit so use of the phrase is superfluous in law under the Berne Convention. (Or maybe not so surprising as this is the Crown and we are talking 1957 it would seem).

Note however, the Authorized Version of the Bible is NOT in the public domain in the UK - as its publication is under the Royal Prerogative and it will continue to be produced under Crown licence until at least 2039. Its copyright status will remain until then and only the Cambridge University Press (if they are still the Queen's Printers) at the present time can produce it in England in its entirety (or Collins in Scotland).

This was one of the oddities in the recent shake up of copyright law (along with others like J M Barrie's Peter Pan and Handels' Messiah) ie that nobody can claim copyright in perpetuity. Some cases were given transitional provisions which included the KJB - so the Crown has another 25 years to go but will give up their control then (don't think Scotland will split but since the Royal Prerogative will not extend there presumably that will be the end of that).

So the matter is in hand, to answer your question - and the All Rights will be going eventually.

For pretty much the rest of the world it is in the public domain, depending on the edition.

EDIT Lord Advocate is still Frank Mullholland and is the Crown representative responsible for this matter in Scotland - is your copy printed by Collins, I wonder. PS: Milligan retired yonks ago - in the 1970s.

I'll put your request at the top of my tomorrow's To Do list.

Personally I don't care what they do as long as they don't touch my X.O and V.S.O.P.
