Top 10 Most pirated movies on BitTorrent
TorrentFreak has published its latest online movie piracy rankings, which show the most popular films shared over the BitTorrent protocol.
Popularity is measured by the number of times a movie was downloaded in the past week, as per TorrentFreak’s estimates.
The Boy Next Door, Camp X-Ray, Mortdecai, and The Water Diviner are new entries to the charts.
Together, the four movies pushed out Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Inherent Vice, Careful What You Wish For, and Into The Woods.
The table below shows TorrentFreak’s top 10, and how it compares to the most popular movies available through legitimate local and international channels.
