Like the general television viewing audience, viewers of pirated programming spent 2014 enjoying intrigue, bloodshed, superheroes, dragons, zombies and a bit of gratuitous nudity – they just didn’t feel like paying for it.

和普通電視觀眾一樣，盜版電視節目的觀眾在2014年也觀賞了陰謀、殺戮、超級英雄、龍、僵尸和一些沒必要的裸體，但他們就是不想為之付費。

Several of the year’s most popular shows were also among the most pirated, according to an annual list compiled by the website TorrentFreak.com, which tallied the number of illegal downloads that took place using BitTorrent file sharing. Topping that list was “Game of Thrones,” with an estimated 8.1 million downloads; the HBO fantasy series, which completed its fourth season in June, draws about seven million viewers for debut broadcasts of new episodes.

TorrentFreak.com網站統計了用BT文件共享進行非法下載的次數。據該網站發布的年度排行，今年最流行的幾部電視劇也是被盜版最多的。排在第一位的是《權力的游戲》(Game of Thrones)，大約被下載了810萬次。HBO頻道的這部奇幻劇在2014年6月播完了第四季，新劇集首播吸引了約700萬觀眾。

Second place on the most-pirated list went to AMC’s popular horror drama “The Walking Dead,” with 4.8 million downloads, followed by the CBS comedies “The Big Bang Theory” (3.9 million downloads) and “How I Met Your Mother” (3.5 million downloads). Fox’s Batman prequel series, “Gotham,” was No. 5 (3.2 million downloads), followed by the CW network’s comic-book adaptation “Arrow” (2.9 million downloads).

排在第二名的是AMC頻道的熱門驚悚劇《行尸走肉》(The Walking Dead)，該劇被非法下載了480萬次。之后是CBS頻道的喜劇《生活大爆炸》(The Big Bang Theory，390萬次)和《老爸老媽浪漫史》(How I Met Your Mother，350萬次)。?？怂诡l道的蝙蝠俠前傳《哥譚鎮》(Gotham)排名第五(320萬次)。第六名是CW電視網的漫畫改編電視劇《綠箭俠》(Arrow，290萬次)。
