Mel Gibson’s controversial film The Passion of the Christ has topped the list of most-pirated films, a US internet analyst has said. Tracking firm BayTSP, which monitors web traffic, said 36,693 copies of the film had been found on the internet during April via file-sharing services. Gibson’s film, released in the US in February, will not be available on DVD in the US until August. The second-most copied film was 21 Grams, starring Benicio Del Toro. Hollywood studios are desperately trying to stem internet piracy of films in an effort to avoid a repeat of the economic downturn which has affected the music industry.
