THE WOLF OF WALL STREET the Most Pirated Film of 2014

The Film was Illegally Downloaded over 30 Million Times
Pirating movies is wrong. You can justify it any
way you want—movies are too expensive;
distribution models are outdated; they didn’t
release it in your area—whatever your reason,
you’re stealing revenue from people who worked
hard on a film, and you’re also devaluing their
work because you wanted something and didn’t
want to pay for it. This year’s most-pirated film
may have even created a new excuse: it was in
the spirit of the plot.
According to Yahoo!, Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf
of Wall Street was the most-pirated film of
2014. The movie was downloaded illegally
“30.035 million times between Jan. 1 and Dec.
23, 2014.” While I’m sure we can all appreciate
the irony of people stealing a movie that’s about
an unrepentant crook, that’s over 30 million
crummy people. Interestingly, as Yahoo! points
out, two of 2014’s biggest films— Guardians of
the Galaxy and The LEGO Movie—didn’t crack the
Top 20, so I guess that’s something. Hit the
jump for the Top 10 most-pirated films of 2014.
