What Were the Most Pirated Movies and TV Shows of 2014?
Published at
Paramount Pictures(NEW YORK) — Perhaps fittingly, the most pirated movie of the year was the story of a man who engaged in illegal activity.
The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, tops the list of pirated movies compiled by piracy tracking firm Excipio and reported by Variety. The Martin Scorsese-directed film was downloaded more than 30 million times between Jan. 1 and Dec. 23.
Disney’s Frozen ranks second. The animated hit was downloaded nearly 29.92 million times.
RoboCop — both the original and the 2014 remake — is third, followed by Gravity and 2013’s The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
In the TV world, HBO’s Game of Thrones was the most-pirated show in 2014, according to TorrentFreak.com. This is the third year in a row the fantasy drama has held that dubious distinction.
Game of Thrones’ fourth-season finale was downloaded more than eight million times via BitTorrent, ranking it way ahead of the next two shows on the list, AMC’s The Walking Dead and CBS’ The Big Bang Theory.
