What are some good free pc games for downloading?

What are the dangers of downloading pc games?

• When my friend found out I have been downloading Sims 3 expansion games onto my laptop to play he went crazy and said that they have 'trackers' or something that follow your every move and alert the authorities that you're illegally downloading stuff but I know so many people that do this and no one ever EVER goes to prison for it so what was he talking about and how much of it is real? serious answers only please, i'm a noob with this stuff and I just need to know for my safety.

• Answer:

  Any crime carries a certain amount of risk. Legally, you face a fine of up to $150,000.00 and five years in prison per game pirated. The odds of getting caught are low, but every year tens of thousands of people do get caught and sued. Of course, you're more likely to simply end up with a computer that's infested with viruses, have your credit and bank account information stolen, your passwords compromised and your identity stolen. There's an irony there in thieves stealing from other thieves.
