Well, I am a vBulletin Owner, and I am completely against Illegal and Cracked copies. If I see one being used, I submit it. If you want to get vB, it's worthwhile and great. Once you get it, you won't want to go back! It's alot better than IPB. If you have a license, I'd suggest getting vBulletin 3.5.1, the latest version, ALWAYS. I wouldn't recomment getting BETA's or Release Candidates, as they are not 'Stable' and sometimes unsupported. If you want a license, I'd get an Owned license. I did. It's really cheap to renew.
