Provided that the Sony hack could have buried the proceeds from the 2014 Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg film "The Interview" during the Christmas holiday, there is one thing for certain: Moviegoers are more than capable (not to mention, willing) to purchase or rent films via the Internet.

However, this doesn't mean that piracy still isn't an issue. For example, on Nov. 27, the Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland film "Still Alice" starring Julianne Moore was leaked onto peer-to-peer file-sharing websites. That same week, other films made were leaked.

Similar to David Ayer's "Fury," which had been downloaded an estimated 1.2 million times online, three other previously unreleased Sony Pictures films -- Will Gluck's 2014 adaptation of "Annie," Mike Leigh's "Mr. Turner" and Nathan Frankowski's "To Write Love on Her Arms" (now titled "Day One") -- were also leaked to the web where they were watched simply by the click of a mouse. It appears the same is happening with blockbuster motion pictures and acclaimed TV series.

According to figures registered by TorrentFreak and Excipio, it was revealed that Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Game of Thrones," based on George RR Martin's bestselling "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels, were respectively the most pirated film and TV series over the course of 2014.

"Game of Thrones," which was nominated for Best TV Series - Drama at the 2015 Golden Globes and only honored with two SAG Award nods this season, was illegally downloaded 8.1 million times, while AMC's zombie apocalypse drama "The Walking Dead" (4.8 million) and CBS' brainiac buddy comedy "The Big Bang Theory" (3.9 million) proved popular as ever. HBO's "Game of Thrones" has also broken another record: it has become the most-shared torrent on the web, with 254,114 people sharing it across the globe at the same time.

It should be noted, however, that the numbers do not take into account streaming, which indicates the general piracy statistics may in fact be "significantly higher," according to TIME.

Indiewire reports, "The Wolf of Wall Street," released by Paramount on Dec. 23, 2013, was downloaded a record 30.035 million times. Disney's "Frozen" which remains a massive hit since its premiere Nov. 27, 2013, was downloaded 29.919 million times, while the MGM/Orion effort "RoboCop" finished third, with 29.879 million.

Other popular favorites were "Gravity" (fourth place: 29.357 million), "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (fifth place: 27.627 million), with Disney/Marvel films "Thor: The Dark World" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" landing in the sixth and seventh spots (25.749 million and 25.628 million respectively).
