Let's make it stronger, and answer it as: "absolutely not."  It's probably
the biggest urban legend in this area.

Copying is copying whether you intend to make money from it or not.  Yes,
there are limited use exceptions, etc., but copying an entire work and
distributing it is the very essence of a copyright violation.
