Pirated android apps are safe to install or not?

Hi all,
I just bought my first Google android phone
I enjoy the device very much but what troubles me is that the paid android apps and games U need to pay with a creditcard.
Since I am still studying I don’t have a creditcard and are not willing to pay a monthly fee to have one because I don’t have financial security unstill I have a full time job.
I already noticed that full apk files can be downloaded across the net.
Now my question is: Is it safe to install full apps on my phone instead of buying them from the android market. Maybe they can ban me or something?
Thanks on advantage

Iv been using cracked apps for the last year n half and had no probs, balls to the market they charge lol, look for an app called blackmart alpha to download files

Answer #6
You do need to be aware that there is a shiitload of android apps that are infected with information dispersing viruses, EVEN some of the paid apps have them.. If I remember right, Google found some 67% of apps had these trojan-types viruses in them.
Answer #7
Holy sh*t.. Is the Lookout antivirus app efficient ennough to evade these trojans?
Answer #8
I believe it is – it tracks actions as well as content.
I don’t think it can disinfect though, just warn and block.
