You can use it until Sublime Text 2 is released and is no longer Beta.

Then if i have Beta installed in my PC will it stop to work? What are benefits to purchase the legal copy?

Purchasing allows you to use ST2 until the end of time, and removes the nag screen reminding you to purchase.

Purchasing the tool you prefer to use benefits you – developers put a lot of work and effort into writing software but they have to eat as well. If people just decide to use their work without paying, they will be forced to abandon their efforts and instead get jobs which put food on their table – making your supply of free software dry up.

There’s also the karma you get for giving as well as taking, versus the shame of taking without giving.
