25-year-old Prillip Danks reportedly cost Universal Pictures millions of dollars, in lost revenue after he loaded it onto the web.

He had visited a showing of the film on its release date and his pirated copy was downloaded over 700,000 times.

Danks sold copies of his recorded version via Facebook making thousands of pounds in the process.
