A V.I.P on Pirate Bay is a trusted uploader. Meaning that all of their uploaded torrents have been tested "Virus-free".
This also means that you can be sure, that when downloading one of their torrents, you won't get any viruses.
They will lose their V.I.P status, if they start uploading viruses.
The Pirate Bay is free...
Oh, dude, the skulls on Pirate Bay just mean the uploader is a VIP member. It's like a fancy badge or something. And "trusted" just means the uploader has a good reputation for not uploading viruses or sketchy stuff. But hey, who really knows, right? Just click and hope for the best!
It means that the user who is VIP is more than likely a respected member of the torrenting community who uploads a lot of good and popular torrents that lots of people are happy with. I would say it means they're less likely to upload fake torrents.
Who knew that the UK had blocked the pirate bay site? If you want to get a legal alternative you can download the Canadian IOS Hunt and this will enable you to go to the Pirate Bay site.
No, it's not.
The Pirate Bay is still currently in operation and has only ever been temporarily shut down. The temporary shut down was court ordered until the claims against The Pirate Bay had been settled.
If you want to pirate them - The pirate bay. If you want to buy them - STEAM
Yes and legal.
