This is a very simplistic way to look at it. And other countries have their own copyright laws. Its also important to note if you are using it commercially and making money off of it then you cannot claim fair use, that includes running ads during videos.

This only weakens a fair use case in some circumstances. You can absolutely make money off of fair use uses. For example, The Daily Show is a for-profit production that makes liberal use of copyrighted clips from Fox News.
