Sure, grabbing a little piece of cinema illegally on your computer might be fast, but it certainly makes studios furious.

Which brings us to the flick that leads the list of the most pirated movies of the year.

Fast Five was downloaded 9.2 million times, according to TorrentFreak.com, which tracks this sort of thing.

So what other films did folks want to see without ponying up at the box office?

Coming in second was The Hangover Part II with 8.8 million downloads, followed by Thor with 8.3 million.

Rounding out the top 10?

Source Code (7.9 million), I Am Number Four (7.6 million), Sucker Punch (7.2 million), 127 Hours (6.9 million), Rango (6.4 million), The King's Speech (6.2 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (6 million).

Missing from the list? Surprisingly, notes TorrentFreak, such big blockbusters as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
