IMHO:  Lawyers are really the only danger to Society, not the individuals 
who have had their arms registered.  Remember we belong to a Society 
for Creative Worry Warts, Paranoid and the Delusional! <grin>  No 
offense, we know who you are and we are coming to get you.

Seriously now, why not take this approach.  Look at the Kingdom of 
Meridies Armorial at http://newmarch.org/armorial  This is a way 
to portray the arms of your Kingdom in what can be considered a very 
period collection of Arms.  A single herald, collected the contributions 
by permission and put them in an electronic format.  (Me in this 
case.)  The process could be streamlined if the Kingdom Submission 
forms were modified to create a signature space for "Release of copyright 
for the exclusive purpose of educational medium in the SCA only by 
reproducing the registered graphic in an electronic format for use 
on the Internet."  It would be possible then for a new or current 
heraldic office of registry to be responsible for taking the FINAL 
Laurel approved device and publishing it.

I believe this approach would be very beneficial to the SCA and the 
heraldic community.
