[Samker]

In addition to the movie box offices, James Cameron’s Avatar has seen been seeing strong success on the piracy shores: http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic.htm
Since last week’s Blu-ray release, the $237 million dollar film has been downloaded far more than any previous Blu-ray releases.

TorrentFreak reports that since its leak, Avatar has seen over 200,000 downloads within its first four days: http://torrentfreak.com/avatar-most-pirated-blu-ray-film-ever-100427/
While nowhere near the levels that DVD movie rips attain, the figure is highest so far for HD Blu-ray rips which come in at much larger file sizes.

Download statistics have shown that the majority of its demand is originating from the UK and Australia, who have a later release date than the US. The Blu-ray was released to the US market last Thursday, April 22nd and to the UK just yesterday.
