Avatar, the 20th Century Fox blockbuster directed by James Cameron, is the most pirated film in Hollywood history, according to a study released by TorrentFreak.

The film has been downloaded some 21 million times since it was released in 2009.



Famously, Cameron once touted 3D filmmaking as the entertainment industry's best hope for combating piracy.

Unfortunately, the 3D spectacle doesn't seem to have helped his film escape the wrath of torrent sites, but the film has raked in nearly $2.8 billion in wordwide theatrical gross nonetheless.
