"WOLF OF WALL STREET" AS THE MOST PIRATED MOVIE OF 2014

The Wolf of Wall Street which starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort was the most illegally downloaded movie of 2014.

Disney cartoon "Frozen" was second on the list, said The Hollywood Reporter, quoting piracy-tracking firm Excipio.

Both movies were downloaded around 30 million times by torrent users between 1 January and 23 December. The third on the list was the space thriller "Gravity". It was just behind Frozen with 29.357 million downloads.

The Wolf of Wall Street, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as real-life stockbroker Jordan Belfort, was controversial when it was released in the US a year ago for its scenes of sex and drug-taking.

It was nominated for best picture at the Oscars and contained more than 500 uses of the F-word in its almost three-hour running time.
