Even KJV and other versions if printed, then that printing can still be in copyright. (You can substitute other languages for English above.)
You could be right about printed versions. Fortunately this thread is about streaming and this site has multiple versions legitimately accessible, free of charge.

Re the printed version, I doubt that any true Christian publisher would object to someone who genuinely couldn't afford to buy a copy, making a copy of someone else's Bible.
