They present two words - one is computer generated and is, in fact, the real CAPTCHA test. The other is a failed to OCR word from a book. People fill both words, because they don't know, which is which. They show the same failed OCR word to a hundred people and get a stable result by majority of people, even if somebody tries to abuse the system and write some bad words instead.

What if somebody steals your photos and hosts himself, what Google indexes?

robots.txt is not an answer to copyright infringement, it's simply a guide to indexing.
