At the risk of asking an incredibly stupid question, but if I only ever torrent video/audio, scan everything I download with defender, and only ever use a recently updated version of vlc, what's the risk?

I remember getting viruses in ye olden days, but afaik the main problem is malware now.

why do you have to pirate VLC, just go to the website and download (or even compile from source)

He doesn’t pirate VLC, he pirates the audio/video he plays with it and asks if there is any danger in that.
