What I'm not getting: If Project Gutenberg is US based, how can they be dragged in front of a German court at all? How could a German court enforce anything on a US based entity? So couldn'd PG's response just have been to ignore the case? What would have happened then?

Presumably, nothing could "force" them, but without cooperation they would simply be blocked forever in Germany.
