You'd be wrong. "Fair use" is permitted in US Copyright law and there's a 4-part test:
The four factors judges consider are:
the purpose and character of your use
the nature of the copyrighted work
the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and
the effect of the use upon the potential market.
