Where appropriate, links to Wikisource should be preferred.  The 
Zondervan/Harper-Collins site has a TOS that claims copyright on 
everything; it applies "regardless of whether your access or use is 
intended". Claiming copyright on every version of the Bible that they 
host vaguely resembles copyfraud.

Some of the more recent versions may indeed be copyright encumbered, but 
it would be a good beginning if some of these 2000+ bibleverse links 
that are for the King James version or some non-specific version were 
pointed to Wikisource.
