Its actually not an unreasonable thing to think of the Universe as a computer. Lots of natural systems can be thought of in that way. Of course the only point of this computer is to compute its subsequent states from moment to moment. But since all human generated knowledge, and indeed us, would already exist in that computer, the argument totally fails to do anything to support your position.
Copyright is about human relations. It does not apply to any being, entity that does not on some level qualify. God, if he exists is free to know the content of books, whether it is under copyright or not. Jesus on the other hand will have to pay for the latest best seller (and lets hope he doesn't ask for royalties for the Bible
).

P.S. Very much hoping God has a sense of humor about this.
