Paramount's worst fears are confirmed: "Star Trek" was the most pirated film of 2009.
In October, studio COO Frederick Huntsberry delivered a presentation to the FCC that detailed how "Star Trek" had become a hot commodity in piracy circles. Illegal file-sharing had advanced from "geek to sleek," he said. Now, according to data from TorrentFreak, "Star Trek" was downloaded nearly 11 million times this past year, just edging "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" in total downloads.
Guy Ritchie's "RocknRolla" was the third most pirated film this year.
Interestingly, for all the fuss earlier in the year about a pre-release leak of "Wolverine," the film barely makes the top 10.
