Posted by Bobby Pellegrino on 1/05/10 • Categorized as Television

NBC’s “Heroes” sits atop the list of the most pirated TV shows of 2009, totaling more than 6 million illegal downloads per episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The news marks a new trend in TV viewership as this is the first year the total amount of downloads for some shows has exceeded the viewership total from when the program was broadcast on network television.  TorrentFreak, a site that tracks downloads, suggests the increased piracy might be the result of viewers in other countries having to days, weeks or sometimes months before the episode is broadcast on their local television stations.

Rounding out the top 5 of the most pirated shows in 2009 are: “Lost,” “Prison Break,” “Dexter” and “House.”

A look at “Heroes”-related tweets shows several in the Twitterverse are among those downloading the show or spreading the news:
