"Even if I believe that what I'm doing is morally correct and legally protected, legal processes still have a financial cost. I can't afford to take on that financial risk for something that I do in my spare time to help others." - this is very logical and exactly what I would have done but it still makes me very sad that this is the way the world works right now :(

The process is the punishment. Average Joe cannot go toe-to-toe in the legal system as it stands right now. The one with the most money nearly always wins, and - as in this case - the threat of financially ruinous litigation is enough.

And the solution is to nerf copyright into the dirt like you'd nerf an overpowered item in a game.

Are you aware that copyright law is the foundation of FOSS licenses?

You wouldn't need it if copyright didn't exist in the first place
