It's fundamentally not possible. The honor system does not work if the reward for breaching it is larger than the gain from your honor.

The only plausible solution is making access more expensive.

Edit: Or, more accurately making each access profitable. And that is unlikely as there is no infrastructure to charge a webuser for accessing a site.
