The CFAA is so broad and broadly interpreted that I would assume that failure to honor any any site's robots.txt file may incur criminal liability if the U.S. government can claim American jurisdiction (e.g., because the site's owners are U.S. persons or a U.S. corporation, or because the site's servers are located in the U.S.).
