"This specification does not define a content protection or Digital Rights Management system. Rather, it defines a common API that may be used to discover, select and interact with such systems as well as with simpler content encryption systems. Implementation of Digital Rights Management is not required for compliance with this specification: only the Clear Key system is required to be implemented as a common baseline."

Does not define DRM .. I am seeing a conflict with the title

"This device is not part of A Bomb. Rather, it implements a common wiring and chemical mixture function that may be used to ignite, and rapidly interact with the surrounding environment. Implementation of A Bomb is not required for use of this device: only the Joke Bang Sign is required to be implemented as a common baseline."

Does not define a specific method of DRM, only an interface to those methods of DRM
