Nobody can deny the popularity of science fiction TV shows such as Heroes and Lost, but this popularity has a down side and that is the illegal downloading of these programmes.
It has been estimated that science fiction is the genre of choice for the computer user that like to obtain material from other sources, with Heroes and Lost being downloaded over fifty million times, in fact Heroes takes it at fifty five million.
It is believed that global illegal downloading has double over the past year, according to the monitoring firm Big Champagne; millions of TV viewers now have access to free online content.
