I honestly don't think that anyone not in the actual employ, whether as a listed volunteer or salaried employee, would cause an unrelated entity to be held legally responsible for his actions. There might be certain municipalities that have criteria to the contrary...

But from the criminal side of things, the person who tacks the poster up is the person who is held responsible for it. Not the company who owns the poster. If it were otherwise, then the printing company who printed the poster would also be responsible, as would the company that sold the printing company the ink, and so on and so forth.

Honestly, I don't think I'd worry about it. If it was someone getting drunk in a bar and committing a crime, THEN you'd have the issue of the bartender allowing the drunk to drive. But the laws around here are pretty specific. It's illegal for a bartender to serve someone who's already drunk. It isn't illegal for you to give someone some posters.
