There's no way in hell to stop piracy completely, but it can be mitigated.
What Ubisoft seem to be doing (like a lot of PC developers, so I hear), is basically punishing people for buying the game, since those that download it when it gets hacked and an exploit is found to get around this online authentication thing will have a much more functional game.
