Most Pirated

For once, Twilight is not number one on a list.  New Moon was not the most pirated movie of 2009.  It was pirated, but read below to see what was the most.

Most Pirated Movie? In 2009, It’s ‘star Trek’

Though “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” may have represented the year’s most notorious case of film piracy, hitting the Internet a month before it was released in theaters, it was not the year’s most widely pirated movie, The Hollywood Reporter said. That dubious distinction belonged to the J. J. Abrams-directed reboot of “Star Trek,”featuring Zachary Quinto, above, as a young Spock, which topped a list of disparate films compiled by the Web site TorrentFreak.com, which tracks the file-sharing program BitTorrent. According to that list, “Star Trek” was downloaded close to 11 million times, and other guy-oriented blockbusters dominated the chart: “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” was No. 2, with 10.6 million downloads; “The Hangover” was No. 4, with 9.2 million downloads; “Wolverine” was No. 9, with 7.2 million downloads. But there was no accounting for pirates’ tastes, and no clear correlation between piracy and the overall box office revenues of these movies. The year’s No. 3 was the Guy Ritchie misfire“RocknRolla,” which earned less than $26 million worldwide since its 2008 release but was downloaded more than 9.4 million times; the No. 5 slot went to the first installment of“Twilight,” which took in nearly $385 million globally and was downloaded more than 8.7 million times.
