It's a common misconception. Robots.txt does NOT allow or deny...
Robots.txt only SUGGESTs what they should crawl or not. It's up to
the crawler to respect the robots.txt file. 

The big ones like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft do follow the instruction
of the robots.txt file, but many, especially the one harvesting
emails, photos..., do not follow the instructions of the robots.txt.
