System and method for blocking screenshots and screen recordings of premium user-generated content

A system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions, which when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:
• receive a first media content frame from a first computer device;
• determine that one or more user interface elements are present in the first media content frame;
• extract the one or more user interface elements from the first media content frame;
• convert the one or more user interface elements to video;
• encrypt the video to prevent screenshot capture of the one or more user interface elements present in the first media content frame by a second computer device lacking a decryption key when the video is played on a digital screen of the second computer device;
• generate a second media content frame comprising the first media content frame overlaid by the video;
• and
• transmit the second media content frame to the second computer device for the second media content frame to be played on the digital screen of the second computer device.
