It is a title no movie wants but the list of the most pirated films of the year has been released.
Headed by a film about a corrupt Wall Street stockbroker, and containing a few surprises, the list shows the film industry's war against illegal downloading still has some wayto go.
The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo di Caprio, was illegally downloaded over 30 million times, while Disney's Frozen, at number two, was illegally downloaded over 29 million times.
Variety released the list of the top 20 pirated films today and it contained some of the biggest movies of the year.
The Robocop remake was third while the space epic Gravity was at number four. The second film in the Hobbit trilogy The Desolation of Smaug rounded out the top five.
A surprise on the list was The Legend of Hercules at eight, which was widely panned by the critics and a box office flop and showed a film doesn't need to be that good to be pirated.
The 2014 Oscar Winner for Best Picture, 12 Years a Slave was also in the top ten edging out the second Hunger Games film Catching Fire at 11.
