Actor, comedian, writer, and singer Jamie “Peapod Doodle Stink” Yates joins Justin and Doug to discuss the idea of piracy and copyrights in the digital age. Is it considered piracy if you download a picture from Google Images and view at your leisure on your computer? Is it stealing if you rip a song off YouTube and add it to your phone? If your grandmother records all the I Love Lucy episodes onto VHS tapes and gifts them on your birthday, is she a criminal? Our three heroes wade into the morally gray area to try to figure out where the line is when it comes to piracy. Things are wrapped up with a throw-down between Cyclops vs. Mr. Fantastic.
