BitTorrent isn’t usually a service studios want to 
partner with. The favorite application of movie and software pirates, the service is widely demonized throughout the state of California.
But the makers of The Tunnel will world premier their direct-to-DVD film on the service on May 19 – and they’ve doing so with the full cooperation of Paramount.
Hollywood’s locked in an ongoing battle with 
online piracy – and that’s one that’s not likely to end soon. But if you’re curious about what films are the most pirated these days, TorrentFreak has the answer.
The site, which monitors and compiles the most popular Bit Torrent downloads has put together a list of the biggest cinematic downloads this week. And the most popular with pirates was only the second most popular with theatergoers – while last week’s number one film – “Jackass: 3D” – is nowhere to be found. (Whether that’s due to the film’s choice to show in 3D or some other factor is a matter ofdebate.)
