Yes. Receiving copyrighted material and not paying for it is illegal. If you were to download from Pirate Bay, it would be illegal.
The Pirate Bay
Pirate bay
Yes, just about everything there is illegal.
No, Pirate Bay is not illegal, but some of the things you download may be illegal, such as, if you download a movie made by someone and you have permission for it to be hosted for free download, then it is fine. But if someone is hosting a movie by Universal Studios then you download it, it IS illegal. Be weary of what you download :).
It still is but its illegal for you if you download copyrighted material
Downloading Adobe products on TPB without owning them is illegal
Pirate bay contains many illegal torrents which may contain viruses and the protection you receive has more to do with your protection software such as Norton than your operating system.
You don't buy anything at pirate bay. Wikipedia states that according to the Los Angeles Times, The Pirate Bay is "one of the world's largest facilitators of illegal downloading" and "the most visible member of a burgeoning international anti-copyright or pro-piracy movement".
You could go onto pirate bay and download a torrent, then download the Sims 3( on Pirate Bay), it will take a long time and this is ILLEGAL. So I wouldn't recommend to be honest.
The Pirate Bay is free...
Yes, but sometimes what uploaders upload may be illegal due to copyright, the website is just a host.
