Fast Five was last year's most illegally downloaded movie that isn't porn
Despite the best efforts of Joe Biden’s anti-piracy task force—which spent most of 2011 debating cool jacket designs and what its theme song should be—the Internet once more spent the year looting and pilfering all the movies it could find. But there’s some good news being passed around their clubhouse to go along with that recent public flogging of a scapegoat: Illegal downloads of studio releases actually saw a dramatic decrease this year, dropping from the record-high, 16 million plus copies of Avatar that were pirated in 2010 to the slightly less wild-in-the-streets theft of Fast Five, which only 9.2 million people stole in an elaborate heist that they then swore to everyone was really well-constructed and fun, so shut up.
