"Not flying well" has nothing to do with it. If you are transmitting on the amateur bands without a license, that's illegal. If you do it with any regularity, you are causing interference and some hams are better than you'd think at locating sources of unwanted interference.

There are plenty of other anything-goes bands for you to use, there's literally no reason to do your pirate radio on the ham bands. Except to get those warm fuzzy counter-culture feels I guess.

That's the tricky part... if you're going for legal and license-free you're pretty much left with the ISM bands and very limited transmit power. There's nothing stopping you from getting a real spectrum license and narrowband licenses in the 2m and 70cm bands aren't actually that expensive but there's also equipment certification requirements, generally.
