For TV, 15.241 and 15.242 deal with high VHF (channels 7 to 13), 15.242 also deals with UHF."

I believe the 100 milliwatt rule only applies to transmitters in the AM band, with very restricted antenna length.
If I set up such a system, will I be a Pirate?

Actually I think you can be legal. But the requirements are complex. They do allow intentional transmission these frequencies.
Start reading this about halfway down and continue to unlicensed Part 15 bands. It seems to be legal.
