Just because you are technically allowed to do something doesn't mean that the action you are doing is morally correct or legal. Downloading apks that are freely available on common platforms like the google play store or the app store is fine and that is one of the main reasons these distribution platforms exist as some phones don't allow you to install certain apps or maybe there are restrictions based off where you live or something. Downloading paid apps on the other hand for free is where things get tricky from a legal standpoint.

Let's say the publisher puts something on the play store and it costs 3 dollars. If you then download it through a third party service for free, You have made it impossible for the publisher to rightfully earn based off of the product they produced unless you were to actually pay for the app later. That would be 3 dollars or closer to 2 dollars and 50 cents depending on the platform licensing fees that the publisher wouldn't earn despite you having access to the product which in itself is an act of digital piracy as you have reproduced the materials that someone else published without rightfully paying for the service or product provided.

Here is what the federal bureau of investigation within the United States has to say in regards to this issue:

I believe the legislation regarding digital piracy and copyright infringement varies depending on where you live although it is an important issue to consider.
Personally I would just either buy Minecraft for android and emulate it on the platform you want to play on (Emulation is legal although that is a whole other bag of worms.) or just buy the game for the specific platform and not worry about anything.
The reason we continue to bring up the topic of piracy is just because of how it is not something that we really condone within the BrokenLens community.
