Can someone check the above code? I want to prevent bad robots from stealing my site? Is there other robots that have to be added or to be removed from the list in order to prevent people stealing my site.

Best regards, Ani

That's not a question anyone can really answer - What is a bad robot to you might send me traffic, and what is a bad robot to me might be helping you out...

Here is an example:
I ban most LWP and libwww user-agents, because they chew up my bandwidth and can be freely used for any purpose including scraping, but there are some legitimate LWP and libwww user-agents, so many people allow them. (I believe G actually runs one of these.) I block them most don't... are they good or bad?

I would recommend you visit the SE Spider Identification forum and start tracking them down, so you can decide if they are good or bad for your site and your purposes.
