#6 - Star Trek
It's tempting to jump straight to the 'trekky nerd with modem' stereotype when you see this title on the list. And, to an extent, you'd be right to. But let's not forget that it was also perhaps the best action movie of 2009. It's been illegally downloaded 16 million times.

And how many people download then go onto buy the film either on dvd or blu ray? no statics for that is there?
How many of those downloads are redownloads?
How many of those downloads are by countries that are not allowed the film?
How many of those downloads are by people who cant afford the dvd (ever heard of region 5?)
the box office always manages to recoup the cost of the films, pay its actors / staff and make a profit, you just have to look at the box office numbers and figures they like to shout out about.
Half the trailers show the best bits nowadays and do not really show the film for what it is, i like to try before i buy, does that make me a bad person?

We asked a panel of 100 pirates which films they downloaded and burned the most?
If E.T. is one of the top answers, you've won!
Seriously who compiles these statistics?
Some more useless statistis:
8 out of 10 owners said their cats prefered Blu-Ray rips.
97 out of 136 women said their skin felt softer after downloading Avatar.
80% of statistics are made up.

Why do they assume that if a film has been downloaded 18million times, that every one of those people would have bought it if file sharing was banned world wide 
I usually see it on tv rather than part with my hard earned cash, and at £20 for a DVD/BLUE RAY
well they can kiss my...... you all know what im saying

Avatar is such a good film after seeing a pirated copy i just have to own a legal copy when it comes out on blue ray in 3D, pirated copies can also be a good advertisement for the legal copy.

Stealth Productions™ (TheAgent)
sorry to correct you, but the film industry released details some time ago to suggest that downloader's are the biggest group of purchasers of "genuine product" also the same is true of Music downloader's.
It serves little purpose for keep complaining about illegal downloading. Both film and music industry are heavily involved in the manufacture and supply of PC's and peripheral hardware used for the purpose of downloading and piracy. In fact without piracy they would lose many millions in revenue. Think about those companies and their products: ie AOL invested in TIME (computers) & Warner (Films & Music) Sony (computers (CD / DVD)
What about video recorders that everyone grew up with? Download of films / music from TV, now dvd recorders do the same. Who manufactures these if not the same people who complain about illegal copies?
A new way of marketing the film & Music products is required. Google stream illegal films and sell advertising around the downloads. Was it not "Pirates" that made the modern music possible? Radio Caroline and others forced the BBC to abandon stiff upper lip broadcasting in favour of Radio 1. Those same tunes from then are now being sold to downloader's without payment of copyright because the law dictates intellectual copyrights expire at 40 years and now the music companies are cashing in by the same method taught to them by illegal downloader's.
So, film and Music industries, stop bleating and change the way you market to meet the needs of the customers. Accept reality and change your ways

Considering the ridiculous cinema costs and £20 for a dvd it's no wonder people are downloading. I watched Avatar for free (legally), rented the Hangover from Lovefilm, and bought Inception on dvd for cheap after it had been out a while. Tbh thought all of them were rubbish, glad that I hadn't paid £7.50 + transport to go to the cinema. If they want people to pay the full price then introduce a level of quality so you know you won't be ripped off - I watched The Grey yesterday and there were about 7 trailers before it came on, you could tell all of them were really low grade films. American remake of a Uruguyan horror film, 2 all action, no thought war films, one awful looking film about the presidents daughter being kidnapped and taken into a prison camp in space with seemingly only Scottish prisoners and two really cheap humour comedy films.

I find it funny, that the picture for #10 - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End is actually from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides lol

Does anyone else find it annoying having to click the next page thing?

I sense greed here the like of which we mere mortals (consumers) cannot comprehend!
How many people are there on the planet?
Count the billions here.
How many unpaid-for downloads are we talking about?
Count the millions here.
How many millions are there in a billion?
How much greed is there out there for so few to gather at our expense?
What`s the minimum wage in America?
What`s the minimum wage in the UK?
God help us all if the Premiership footballers decide to become filmstars!

damn i missed some good downloads, straight on to piratebay.org haha !! don't forget to use your free peer block, them pesky trackers trying to get your ISP address. if the big boys made downloading movies more reasonable more people would buy it ? they have the technology why do they not use it to stop people copying the dvd's and you can get the programmes FOC to rip and burn.
09/02/2012 01:05
I miss read the headline..... I found it hard to imagine a film with more pirates in it than.............
23/02/2012 08:55
Im a pirate, YARRRRRRR!! my treasure is file sharing, **** you ACTA
08/02/2012 17:51
I guess this is also a decent way of showing the popularity of certain movies, therefore why would Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean) not be impressed with the 14m downloads?
@eowie nswdu... What?
24/02/2012 00:33
studies suggest that actually downloads increase people wanting a cinema viewing or buying a copy, and the recommending to friends buzz factor
- so in fact "piracy" has actually likely HELPED the movies success, not hindered, as this biased MPAA BS article implies - do your research
keep your mind open

I think it is time we all just took 2 seconds to think about how said pirated movies became available to download free of charge off these torrent site's in the first place.
I know people will say people with cameras in cinemas which I accept but what about the Blu-Ray and DVD-Rips how do people get copies of these before general release.... I wonder if you had something that was potentially worth billions of pounds you would leave it in venerable place where it could easily be stolen of copied.... Plus think about all the free advertising it gives the film makers when issues of piracy hits the newspaper, radio’s and TV screen I wonder how much that boosts the interest in that film.....
Just a thought!? :-)
08/02/2012 17:03
Adam, to be fair I would hate to think of anyone paying good money for those films. Wheras the Departed is of some value.

I don't know how to download films legally or not - so its not me!!!
