Software targets music swapping
Digital File Check also helps users delete copyrighted music and video files from the "shared folders" of computers.
The program is being released online and on CD in eight European countries including the UK.
Possible fines
IFPI chairman John Kennedy said the program was an educational tool aimed at "making life easier for people who want to enjoy music responsibly and legally on the internet".
"This initiative comes at a time when downloading music legally has never been easier, with over 350 sites offering over a million tracks," he said.
In a separate move, the IFPI is sending out a new copyright guide to IT managers at the UK's biggest employers to encourage them to ensure that their computer networks are not used for illegal activity.
The guide is backed by record companies' group the International Chamber of Commerce, the Motion Picture Association and the International Video Federation.
Guides will be sent out to businesses in eight other countries, including Sweden and Thailand.
