Considering that Spanish is a latin-derived language -for instance: dixit means said in English (then, Calvo dixit means Calvo said), and said means dijo in Spanish ... are quite simmilar dixit and dijo-, and considering that Carmen Calvo is a Doctor in Constitucional Law -which implies the knowledge of many latin phrases like prima facie, ex novo, in dubio pro reo, onus probandi, etc- and also was then the Minister of Culture ... thinking she was called Dixie was somewhat bizarre -and a shocking event for Internet users, who thought what did we do to deserve such a minister? -some may think that what they did was voting her party ... wrong answer as her opposition counterpart, Beatriz Rodriguez-Salmones, accused Calvo (despite her alignment with copyright management societies) of being too soft with filesharing!- Regards

P.D.: And not only because of latin phrases, it's amazing that Carmen Calvo is a Doctorate in Constitutional Law holder ... the Spanish IP Law -which implements the 2001/29/EC Directive- violates several articles of our national constitution -we, PIRATA, arrived late; latest Spanish IP Law was passed on July 2006; Constitutional Law allows only a three-month period after passing a law to question it (then only until October 2006); and PIRATA was formally constituted as a party in January 2007 ... now it can only be questioned by a judge when applying a concrete article of IP Law during a trial ... and only if the judge wants to-.
