Did you read a single word of what I wrote? A debit card is not the
same as DRM, not in the slightest.

With a debit card, the user is TRUSTED. So is the owner of the ATM and
the bank on the other end. The security mechanisms are not trying to
prevent you from accessing YOUR OWN MONEY, it is trying to prevent
OTHER PEOPLE from accessing it. These people, who are NOT TRUSTED, are
not given the key.

With DRM, it is the USER who is not trusted - the user, who is in
possession of the key. Do you see the difference? 

You don't understand the most basic concepts about DRM, and you seem
unwilling to learn, even to read my responses to your posts. I am not
going to waste my time trying to explain this to you any more.
