Maybe you could do your own randomised, double blind trial. But instead of a placebo, use 3 or more subs with measurable parameters (not a journal), that participants don't mind trying out. Not perfect, but at least it would be easy to get free participants. How about hiring a scientific research graduate student from a local college to perform the experiment? They might do it for a much lower price, or free!
I think you should focus on free marketing rather than advertising at this stage. That could get very expensive. If you have something new and fandangled, people who write or talk want to share it with their audience. But if you want to spend money I guess it can be done (if you have enough money)

As for the piracy, contacting only reputable list owners/affiliates to partner with shouldn't worsen the problem too much. I think customers are much more of a threat in that department.
