IPI Launches Anti-Piracy Application Digital File Check	By Tudor Raiciu, Technology and Science Editor 23rd of September 2005, 15:25 GMT Adjust text size:


International Phonographic Industry is determined to fight piracy at all costs and in order to achieve that goal, it has decided to release a software which verifies if a certain system has a file sharing installed on it. Digital File Check is a simple educational tool that aims to guide computer users, many of whom might be new to the world of online music. Digital File Check helps to show how they, or their families, colleagues and friends, can enjoy music and film legally and responsibly without risking legal action by copyright holders. Digital File Check helps to remove or block any of the unwanted "file-sharing" programmes commonly used to distribute copyrighted files illegally. It also allows the user to delete copyrighted music and video files from the "shared folders" of the computer from where they are commonly swapped illegally on the Internet. Digital File Check has been developed by IFPI, representing the recording industry worldwide, in conjunction with the Motion Picture Association, a representative of the film industry. DFC will be available online and on CD format over the coming months in countries including Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK. The application is available for free on the Internet at this address http://www.ifpi.org/dfc. This week, Softpedia would like to know your opinion on gaming consoles. What is your favorite console you either own or you are planning to buy? Are you an Xbox fan or a Playstation fan? Has Xbox360 convinced you it's time to buy one? Or you'll wait for the PS3? Express your opinion here.
