Abstract: A system and method for preventing unauthorized use of digital contents such as, but not limited to, music, movies, videos and computer games, henceforth referred to as “digital content” or “digital content”. The present invention protects the digital content by reformatting said digital content such that, the rendering context of the said digital content is lost. The rendering context that was removed by the reformatting process is then protected from unauthorized use such that only authorized users/computing devices can recover the rendering context and use it to render the protected digital content.
