Hi,


I fear some new ff filter plagiates appeared. It's a set called Eric's
FX.

I identified  the following plagiates:


Sandy Blair's "Wood Grain"

Kipp McMichael's "BugEye"

Kipp McMichael's "Streaker"

Kipp McMichael's  "Evanescence"

Chris Kendall's "Mirror"

Martijn W. van der Lee's "Neon" (absolute identical code)

Martijn W. van der Lee's "Compose" (absolute identical code)

Martijn W. van der Lee's  "Pencil" (absolute identical code)

Dennis Crombie's "BeyondEdger" (absolute identical code)

Dennis Crombie's "ColorFade" 


The ff code of some filters isn't copied one to one, there are only some
minor 
changes like  val(0,X/2,0) to val(1,X/2,0), but the basic code is the
same. I think 
only 5 or 6 filters in this package which have a very simple ff code are
originally 
his.


The URL with the plagiated filters is:

<underline><color><param>0000,0000,FF00</param><FontFamily><param>Verdana</param>www2.cyberzone.net/webnet/index.html</underline></color><FontFamily><param>Times
New Roman</param><bigger>


<FontFamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>It's a nice site, so I don't
know why he considers it necessary to plagiate filters.
