It's not comparable at all. Posters on the street are seen as being disposable in most parts of the world, and it's hard to imagine being arrested for, say, pulling down an Obama campaign poster and taking it home.

It's actually funny you mention campaign posters specifically - because yes, you can get in very serious legal trouble for taking down campaign signs in certain states.

Oh, that's a good point. I was just imagining a fan taking a poster home for personal use, but that sort of thing could easily fall under campaign laws.
Except that "North Korea" isn't "most part of the world". Even a basic five-minute readout on any travel wiki would tell you that. This is a country that will send your whole family to slave labour if you remotely suggest something that might be regarded as against their supreme leader.
You could have fun or lose your life. Make a call.
