It was a private conversation which Amjad himself stated he intended to turn into a public lawsuit. There should be no expectation of privacy here.

OP apologized and took down the code - which was satisfactory to the Amjad. AFAIK, no lawsuit has been filed.

Now, the only reason to make the conversation public is to apply public pressure to make something happen.

OP apologized and took down the code so he wouldn't be served with a lawsuit, not because he thought it was fair.

I disagree, I don't see it that way. The very first email says "Don't worry, I have no intention [..]". That to me, indicates OP was aware they were in a grey area.
