By Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech (CLICK to read more)"TorrentFreak had just come out with its annual list of the most downloaded movies of the year ... and no, we're not talking movies from iTunes. So, which summer blockbuster took the dubious honor of most pirated film of 2009? Tell 'em, Mr. Spock.
Yep, that's right: This year's hit reboot of the 'Star Trek' franchise (and one of my favorite movies of 2009, by the way) tops TorrentFreak's list, with a whopping 10.9 million downloads on BitTorrent in 2009—a figure that handily rises above last year's high-water mark of 7 million (for 'The Dark Knight').
Nipping at 'Star Trek''s heels with 10.6 million downloads is 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,' another big summer blockbuster that'll probably end up as the biggest U.S. box-office draw of the year (to the tune of $402 million).
And which movie came in at number three? Could it be 'Up,' this year's masterpiece from Pixar (which earned $293 million at the box office)? Or wait ... don't tell me: 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,' right?"
