He did not steal it. I do not know if he violated a law. That is what I am asking. I do not know the legal standards but I do not think copy right material is the same as government secrets
Fruit of a poisoned tree does not apply. Law enforcement has to steal the or obtain the material in question illegally for that to apply. If I steal or obtain proof of a crime illegally and give it to a LEO, they may use it to prosecute so long as they did not encourage me or have foreknowledge of my actions.
You watch too much Law and Order.
