"Fast Five" will probably not be at the top of many year-end movie lists -- best, worst, biggest hits or otherwise. But it is No. 1 somewhere, although probably not where its studio, Universal, would want it to be.

The movie was the most pirated film of 2011, according to data compiled by TorrentFreak. The Vin Diesel-Paul Walker-Dwayne Johnson action saga was swapped almost 9.3 million times via BitTorrent.

That's a lot, but it's way down from 2010 piracy leader "Avatar," which racked up more than 16 million downloads. TorrentFreak says the average for the Top 10 this year was also way down from 2010, although the number of BitTorrent users didn't decline.

"The Hangover Part II" and "Thor" were second and third on the list, each with more than 8 million downloads.

Best picture winner "The King's Speech" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" also made the Top 10, but it wasn't all hits. Middling box-office performers like "Source Code" and "Sucker Punch" also made the list.

Here's the Top 10, per TorrentFreak:

1. "Fast Five"
2. "The Hangover Part II"
3. "Thor"
4. "Source Code"
5. "I Am Number Four"
6. "Sucker Punch"
7. "127 Hours"
8. "Rango"
9. "The King's Speech"
10. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2"

Surprisingly, Harry Potter is only number 10. I thought that would have been one of the most downloaded.

2010 piracy leader "Avatar,"

Next time anyone tells you the movie business is hurting, make sure to remind them that the highest grossing film of all time also happened to be the highest downloaded in the year of its release.

The movie, music and porn business is not hurting at all because of piracy. It is all a lie to get you to stop and for them to make more money if they catch you.

They spend nearly as much money doing this as they do financing albums and films.

If they ignored piracy for three months, their profit margin would increase by at least 20% from the legal savings alone.

That is the sad part. It is like the war on drugs. They will never win it.

I wish they'd go back to the cold war. At least it was just a bunch of CIA men pushing too many pencils and coughing up a story that put Dutch, Blaine, Billy, Mac, Poncho, Hawkins and Dillon into a meat grinder.
