That's the problem when you're being hunted; you can't slip up even once. The people chasing you can make all the mistakes they want; you have to make zero.

One thing I'm curious about with stuff like this is how some of the information gets given to the authorities and how it's allowed to be used in court. I imagine I can't just walk into my local police station, file a report, and go "so I have this illegal copy of a database that let me illegally access someones email account that contained illegally acquired information ...". Wouldn't that be inadmissible in court even if the police did accept it and act upon it? And doesn't it expose me to potential legal problems as well?

OP seems a bit naive, but I can't believe it given everything he's written. Of course the Fly won't send threats over mail, he knows everything he writes is being watched. I would be worried, however, that he somehow gets word to someone to exact his revenge, since he really has nothing to lose at this point.

This is a common misconception. The fourth amendment only limits the actions of the state, and case law establishes how evidence is excluded from trials. So, if I break into my neighbor's house and find child porn on his computer, that evidence is admissible in court. But if the police break into my neighbor's house without a warrant and search his computer, it isn't admissible, because it's a fourth amendment violation. But if they have a warrant to search the computer, it is admissible. If the judge who issued the warrant made a mistake and shouldn't have issued the warrant, the evidence is still admissible. This last situation also surprises people.
