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.

Not what they're asking, read closely. They're curious about the risk from using pirated audio or video material (not executables). VLC is only mentioned as their player of choice, so it's easy to assume they've already got it installed.
