You cannot monetize something you don't own -- unless you have a claim of safe harbor under the DMCA or other international/ or national laws.
"The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, usually known as the Berne Convention, is an international agreement governing copyright, which was first accepted in Berne, Switzerland, in 1886."
You will get sued and shut down -- nothing is illegal 'till you get caught. Monetizing knowingly infringing content is a tort (civil 'crime').
