US drama Heroes was the most popular illegal download this year, according to research firm Big Champagne.
About 55 million people downloaded the show, while 51 million chose to access Lost, the second most popular show.
"Millions of television viewers now access free, unauthorised versions of favourite shows at least some of the time," says Eric Garland, chief executive of Big Champagne.
So much for the "success of lawsuits" against filesharers. Millions of people are happily using the technology and this won't change. It's not some underground activity, but an everyday task for millions.
