Movie and music piracy has been common place for years, but now the pirates of the net have set their sights on completely new targets – hit US TV shows.

In the old days when you wanted to watch a TV show you needed a television – what a quaint, 20th Century notion.

With the advent of broadband, viewers are increasingly turning to the web and peer-to-peer downloading software to get their fix of the latest TV shows.

There is just one small problem with this P2P trend – a large proportion of this downloading is illegal.
