The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese’s true-life tale of corrupt New York stockbrokers, 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 films were downloaded around 30 million times by torrent users between 1 January and 23 December 2014.
The third most-pirated film was space thriller Gravity.
It was just behind Frozen with 29.35 million downloads.
The Wolf of Wall Street, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as real-life stockbroker Jordan Belfort, caused controversy 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.
