When Avatar (www.avatarmovie.com by James Cameron, not the cartoon) was released last year, it went on to set tons of records including as the most successful film in history with gross revenue of more than USD 2 billion, besides the extremely hyped up 3D. But despite that, there’s also another record set by the film that did not reach the mainstream media widely, as it’s those kind of award that you won’t like if you’re a producer or director. The Avatar movie (2009) is the fastest movie to be pirated with more than 200,000 download in just four days after it was premiered.

That’s only the first four days when it was screened, but now that it’s been over a year, the record has been rather massive. Avatar is still quite popular among the cult of Jack Sparrow. The film now holds the record as the most pirated movie of 2010 with 16,580,000 downloads on BitTorrent. Following behind, but not even close, is Kick-Ass, Inception, Shutter Island and Iron Man 2. If you try to convert all those downloads to real Blu-ray packages sold in retail, imagine the amount of moolah James Cameron will get!
