Most pirated movies of 2013

So the most pirated movie made the 2nd most money. The 10th most pirated movie made the 4th most money.

I am not sure what conclusion to draw from these numbers, other than the opinion that piracy here had very little to do with the overall earnings.
 
Yeah The Hobbit could have made an extra gazillion $ if it weren't for you bloody pirates. Pity...

I acquired all of them but have only watched about 60%. I'm not a pirate. The internet coupled with peer pressure made me do it.

Yep.

RIAAA etc hate his inconvenient fact.
 
Slightly OT but interestingly, or alarmingly enough, depending on how you look at it, the UK are starting to look at an opt-in web filtering option for IPS to protect children from pron ('cos it's up to the ISP's and not the parents :p)... Aaand wouldn't you know, Sky Broadband's "Broadband Shield" arbitrarily blocks sites like TorrentFreak, uTorrent and BitTorrent as well. Sneaky bastards.

I think my kids score about 6/10, but not sure what they've downloaded in the last 3 weeks whilst I've been away

I've seen 8/10 either at the movies or on flights

Unless people are so cheap they'd download a cam copy I don't think piracy makes a difference to box office takings. Even if there are such cheap skates they would probably not go and watch the movie even if it were free, so no lost revenue off those.
