Superhero films lead the way in the pirating world

The most illegally downloaded movie of 2016 has been revealed – and it’s none other than the merc with a mouth, Deadpool.

Ryan Reynold’s film had a small budget of $58million for the blockbuster but brought in shocking $780million at the box office.

However, many people chose to watch the film through illegal streams and downloads instead of paying to watch it at the cinema or at home on DVD or Blu Ray.
