Actually, it doens't matter if you make money or not. According to international copyright law as set by (I believe) the Berne convention (which every major nation on Earth is signed to) one of the exclusicve rights of copyright holders is to distribute their work. Even if you don't make money, you are still distributing, and they can do some nasty stuff to you, some of which has been mentioned above. If you want to know more, I'll try and find my old copyright book.
