I'm staunchly for AGPL3, and harsh and strong enforcement actions against violators. You know, what the companies would do to us. Tit for tat.

Which is basically the situation you get from [A]GPL. You still have the option to offer a different license in exchange for money.
Stops tivo-ization. And stops app-ification (making a GPL3 into a webapp and significant changes, but not sharing as well).
But most of the FLOSS orgs (FSF, etc) don't want blood from violator companies. Instead they just want mealy-mouth halfassed responses that amount to 'open the source'.
I remember what happened to copyright violators who copied Metallica and Britnry Spears back in the early 2000's. Fucking kids got hit with $4000 settlements or $135000 lawsuits.
That's the type of vigor and destructiveness I want FLOSS orgs to go after for-profit copyright violators.
