    why not buying from their website, they take a small amount of charge.

    Nothing will happen, but you should really support the designers and coders.

    They can list your site on their website as "thieves". Some do it and it will affect your site's credibility.

    Nothing will happen unless they find you. Still best is to use out of free ones if you can't afford.

    If they find out and contact your host (Not likely though), you will get some problems. Why not just get a legit copy or use another free theme?
