Why is it necessary to register?

Nobody likes registration forms, so I always did my best to keep CGTextures registration free. Unfortunately without an account system some people find ways to circumvent the quota and download thousands of textures a day. Because of the danger of piracy I cannot allow this, so I have no option but to force everybody to register.

Do not try to register multiple accounts with different email adresses, they will be found and deleted!
