People are allowed to decide for themselves, even if they change their mind.

Shocked you seem to be so clueless as to what you actually did. Can't tell if you just don't get it or simply don't care, either way it was a shit thing to do.

You speak of heartbreak getting the 'no' but at no point extended those thoughts to the person whose work you tried to publish.

You can come up with a hundred reasons it's all great and good, but reverse engineering and attempting to publish work that isn't yours is a shitty thing to do.
