The sites sued are Shuntv.net, Zonatracker.com, Btefnet.net, Scifi-classics.net, Cddvdheaven.co.uk, and Bragginrights.biz  According to research by Envisional, recent surveys report downloads of TV programmes are up by 150\% in a year. Most of the downloads, 70\%, used BitTorrent sites. With smaller size than movies and broadband access, popular shows often appear within hours of airing on TV. CEO of the MPAA , Dan Glickman told the BBC  "Since we began shutting these sites down, the time that it takes to download a file on BitTorrent has increased exponentially  which means the experience of downloading copyrighted films and TV shows is not what it used to be. We intend to make it even worse. Protecting the television industry is essential."
