Youtube will not run ads in any part of a video that it is not from a trusted source because even they know they will have no DMCA protection if they do that.

Illegal tube sites run pre and post roll ads on copyrighted content. That appears to not be protected by DMCA no matter who uploaded it.
Yeah, actually youtube is very proactive about copyright violations. I helped this girl I know upload a video of her dance troupe. It was 100% legit on the video, but it used a Billy Squire song as the soundtrack. Youtube pulled the video in less than 10 minutes and made her repost the video with pre-approved / really lame audio from youtube soundtrack.

So they are out there trying to put a cap on copyright violations.
