Illegal copies of TV shows downloaded

Web pirates are targeting the TT – with thousands of downloads of illegal copies of television footage.

One of the largest digital piracy sites, which registered an Isle of Man domain name last April before being booted off the registry, has every episode of this year’s ITV coverage so far.

More than 750 people are sharing the files, which have been downloaded thousands of times.

In the UK, you can watch ITV’s programmes on its catchup site legally.
