New research has found that as many as 1 in 5 adults in Ireland downloaded TV shows or movies illegally over the last year.
Almost 37-thousand adults here illegally download such content every day.
The study was done by Ignite Research for Core Media, and shows younger adults are most likely to download content - with 1 in 3 aged between 15 and 24 having done so in the past year.
That jumps slightly to 1 in 4 in the 25 to 34 age bracket, while just 1 in 20 of those aged 55 or older more admit to downloading illegal content.
