it doesnt "stop" them, but it lets them know its not ok with you, plus collectors want their copies "minty". also if you see them on ebay or whatever you know where they came from

So? A non collector might not care. If a person just wanted a poster from the show they went to they would/might still buy it.

And wouldn't it almost make the poster MORE rare?

Just leaving the promo copies out of the signed and numbered run seems like enough.
