In the past, he had been paying to have they typed in by hand.  If he's 
just stealing them from Chadwyck-Healey, it's not clear to me what he 
even needed money for.

The Bibles cannot, however additional markup in them could be 
copyrighted.  In any case, access to Chadwyck-Healey's databases is 
regulated by a licensing agreement, so export & re-distribution would be 
a violation of that agreement.
