Enforcing that Project Gutenberg actually respects german copyright law when offering service to german users is abusing the justice system? That's a surprising interpretation of these events, in my opinion.

That's a surprising interpretation of these events, in my opinion. Being a US entity acting 100% legally under US law with no physical presence in Germany but somehow being required to comply with German laws seems a bit abusive to me, in my opinion. Next time I go trolling because I have karma to burn I suppose I'll have to answer to German hate-speech laws?
