I don't use a condom with my husband, because after ten years together, neither of us feels we need to (we use another form of birth control). Your condom analogy makes sense only if I out of nowhere suddenly decide that the man who's been mine and only mine for a decade has cheated on me. It would not be good for our marriage if I wasn't willing to give him the benefit of doubt. After all, he's spent over ten years earning that benefit, by earning my trust. And yes, I refuse to believe he'd cheat on me. He's neither stupid or suicidal.

Back to your post, it makes no sense whatsoever. Not only because DRM doesn't work, while condoms do. It makes no sense because condoms are things we use because we have to, DRM is there because others force us to endure it. So to equate DRM to condom use is flat out stupid. It's not even close to relevant.
drm would be like only being able to use the same condom with your partner. if you use a new condom you've gotta switch partners.
