Director Guy Ritchie may not know how to pick a marital relationship that will last, but he sure can make a movie people will want to download… for free. Ritchie’s Rocknrolla kept the top spot on TorrentFreak’s Top 10 Most Pirated Movies on Bittorrent for the second week in a row. The Edward Norton cop drama Pride and Glory debuted on the list, as did the Simon Pegg comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
